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?])
There_is_something going on with TP which is not down the center of the road.
Adolescent, sometimes; hedonistic, frequently. Without it he wouldn't be
nearly as much fun.
Where is everybody? (Let me count the places. . .)
