Reminds me of Mardi Gras (just ended). Religious zealots are bused in
every year from far away to witness the festivities and "rescue the
sinners". Fine with me.

But showing up on the television news the next day and complaining about
all the debauchery they witnessed and calling for the sinners to be
banished and for the police to put a stop to fun in the French Quarter
is a bit much. The only reason they saw what they saw was because they
came specifically to see it so they could complain on television the
next day. Fortunately, Mardi Gras has been going on since 1718, and the
zealots go home after their interview, so we all forget about them until
next year. Kind of like fish spawning - it's a sort of rite of spring.
