Dan Savage interviewed on NPR today about the Ashley Madison Hack

Dan Savage is a very smart guy. Listen to the whole thing before commenting (it's the first interview once you click 'Listen'). I already knew what Dan would probably say, having been a fan of his for some years, but hearing him argue his case I definitely started to feel bad about some of my own reactions to this story.
