My two previous postings may sound like I think certain things
in the books should have been _left out_. This wasn't intended. I'm not
quite _that_ presumptuous.
Actually, I tend to be Aristotelian about these matters. Don't think
writing about it is the same as doing it. Gad, vicariouly experiencing
sex with children and inflicting cruelty may even have some sort of
_purgative_ effect. An outlet for that hideousness rooted deeply in our
natures.
The secret lusts that drive the planet?
