This is very interesting -- we discuss rape, and everybody automatically switches into high gear discussing whether or not "overpowering sexual urges" are "mitigating" circumstances, "excuses" or not. I thought we had agreed it wasn't a question of sex. Perhaps we should be discussing "overpowering urges to _control_" which is closer to the truth. Just because somebody else sets up a blind doesn't mean you have to jump behind it.
