Ahhhhh, hypocrisy. By human nature, we are all hypocrits. Is it hypocritical of me to tell my kids not to smoke, when I smoke a pack a day? Yes. Is it hypocritical of me to tell my kids never to drive after they have been drinking, when I have gotten behind the wheel of a car after one too many drinks? Yes. I think that this may have been what Manx has been trying to say (but without acknowledging that this is, by definition, hypocrisy - correct me if I've read you wrong). Except for those who lead a spot free lifestyle (and I can't think of anyone off hand who does), there is a little bit of hypocrisy in us all. The one major difference is that most of us don't become multi-millionaire's on a platform of standards that we reject in our own lives (cue Michael Moore). It's just funny that some people seem to have difficulty callling a spade a spade, and are using the old "smoke and mirrors" technique in an attempt to defend this prime example.
