Rhymes With Corn
Christian conservatives are getting their knickers in a twist over *gasp* hotel porn. CNN notes a gathering of 13 groups, including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America, are asking their buddies in the Justice Department to "look into" hotel video services to se if they violate federal and state obscenity laws.
I can almost hear the phone call: "We got you your jobs, now go to work. We want you to get rid of filthy pornography so we don’t have to worry about what our kids are watching in the hotel rooms while we’re downstairs getting drunk and gambling."
Ahhh… There’s no substitute for applied parenting…
My daughter is almost 16. She has already gone through three regimens of "health" courses masquerading as "hygiene" or some such, which deal primarily with human reproductive systems: sixth grade; eighth grade; and ninth grade. By now, I’m sure she knows how things fit together. She won’t need to ask us anything, public schools have done it all. That’s what our tax dollars are for. Nevermind that we’re the strange sort of parents who wouldn’t be embarrassed to discuss avians and insects with her… like I said, we’re strange…
For the rest, especially for the sexually repressed, uptight and paranoid parents who cannot handle procreative topics, it is better to legislate them into our schools and out of our vacation spots. Better yet to avoid the subject altogether. Then we can finish turning our children into neurotic messes when they find out about pregnancy accidentally and the parental hammer falls on them. It sure beats a warm, family discussion about just how they got here in the first place.
Oh, yeah… storks. Right.
