Well, a good portion of it at least. 

Lest you think I’m picking on a certain area, to me, Middle America (much like the Soccer Mom Brigade) is more of a state of mind than a physical place.

In her interview with Barbara Walters airing this Sunday, Mo’nique gave her thoughts on monogamy, saying “Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a deal-breaker. That’s not something that would make us say, ‘Pack your things and let’s end the marriage. What if it’s 20 times? So what? We’ve been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don’t know who they’re laying next to. I’m very comfortable and secure with my husband.”

The more she speaks, the more I like her.  Of course there’s bound to be all sorts of feigned outrage from various groups shrieking about the sanctity of marriage and what have you, but I think it’s refreshing that she’s upfront about it. 

Sex, love, commitment, and desire aren’t complete absolutes.  Several high profile celebrity couples could have spared themselves a lot of scrutiny and write-ups in various media outlets had they been as honest and candid.  Just sayin’….

Quick, someone needs to pass the smelling salts to middle America, I think it has the vapours.
