S&M at the international policy level

[pynchonoid]

Is GR's observation out of date?  

"Why will the Structure allow every other kind of
sexual behavior but that one? Because submission and
dominance are resources it needs for its very
survival. They cannot be wasted in private sex. [...]
It needs our submission so that it may remain in
power. [...] if S and M could be established
universally, at the family level, the State would
wither away. This is Sado-anarchism" (GR 737)

[...] The newspaper went on to detail the sexual
practices of one of the current inspectors. 

Harvey "Jack" McGeorge, 53, from Virginia, is a
co-founder of an S & M group in the Washington DC
area, and a former chairman of the board for the
National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. 

The former marine was recommended for the mission by
the US state department, and is now in New York. 

He heads his own security consultancy, selling
counter-bioterrorism products and conducting seminars
on chemical and biological weapons, but he does not
hold a scientific degree. 

A trawl of the internet by the Post found that Mr
McGeorge was also a member of the Leather Leadership
Conference Inc, which "produces training sessions for
current and potential leaders of the
sadomasochism/leather/fetish community". 

In an interview with the newspaper, Mr McGeorge said
he would resign rather than damage the UN mission. 

"I have been very upfront with people in the past
about what I do, and it has never prevented me from
getting a job or doing service," he said. "I am who I
am. I am not ashamed of who I am - not one bit. But I
cannot allow my actions, as they may be perceived by
others, to damage an organisation which has done
nothing to deserve that damage." 

A spokesman for the UN said that Mr McGeorge's private
life had nothing to do with his qualifications as an
inspector. 

However, he provides a convenient target for critics
of Mr Blix, particularly aggrieved former inspectors.
