I'm with you, Paul.  Disturbing, but deeply endemmic and occasionally
 unavoidable that it rear its horny head.  Even Jimmy Carter admitted to
"lust in his heart."  (I can't believe a man that honest ever got to be
President -- but he's a perfect example, as far as I can tell, of goodness
triumphant over any temptation he might have had for a comfortable,
self-aggrandizing retirement.  [How did this get in here?])

 Adolescent, sometimes; hedonistic, frequently.  Without it he wouldn't be
nearly as much fun.

           Where is everybody?   (Let me count the places. . .)
