Twin Peaks Miss San Angelo Wins Top 10 at Annual Bikini Contest

The hang-ups and phobias about sex, in this place and time, specifically, are the putrid remnants of our Puritanical roots. What doctrine or belief system do you think early man troubled himself with, for instance, about 2 million years ago, before or around the time he learned to fabricate tools? Who was there to instill a sense of shame, and what became of him when he died?

Your point of reference for these questions, and many other topics is a 2000 year old religious doctrine. Put into perspective, this is but a minuscule amount of time, within the 2 million year history of our closest ancestors. The fact that many "believers" don't believe the Earth was around 2 million years ago consequently limits the areas of inquiry on this subject to begin with. Like most discussions with the fanatical and devout, this one, too, is potentially a lost cause.

I never said monogamy was self-righteous. Monogamy works for many people. I stated that I'd be more concerned about self-righteous PERSONS, attempting to brow beat my adult child into a life long psychological complex, just so they can blow their fanatical load for the day. However, being that they're MY child, I'm quite certain they'll know how to handle such vermin.

As much as you'd like to make this a religious debate, I'm not biting. We've been there, done that. The "sickness" I referred to, is indeed rooted in religious prejudice, however I'm more interested in exploring any possible remedies than debating the need for a this chronic infection.

I see you've read some of my pieces here on LIVE!. Thank you for taking the time, Nate. One piece in particular dealt with the criminalization of flirting. I wrote that about 4 years ago, when I began noticing the change of the tide -- enter 2017...the "me too" charade. Slowly but surely, we are being stripped away of everything that makes us human, dare I say a movement that rivals even the most deviant religious doctrines contrived.

What's the first thing you do, when you want to modify behavior, that isn't necessarily harmful to anyone, rather "unsavory" to some? You push the message via public opinion, create movements and protests in hopes of someday legislating your morality and imposing it on the public: You call the man flying a confederate flag a "racist", maybe make a far reach and correlate his flag with a "hate crime". You squeal "sex offender" at the guy at the office who made an cheesy, yet harmless remark about a woman's attire. The attack on free speech is another example we see daily. No one's put anything into law, yet, but the twisted, tortured vernacular we're being force fed, for fear of losing our jobs or social standing is a crime in of itself.

Of course people will pick and choose which rights and liberties are a necessity, and those rights and liberties which others cherish, but WE find repugnant, we'll assign pejorative labels to, and with any luck lock away or ostracize those who cling to them. The Left will sympathize with the homosexual who couldn't get a wedding cake with two male figurines, and then call me a NAZI because I support Trump. The Right will be damned if the government tells them they can't own this firearm or that, but while you're around, Big brother...do you mind helping us keep the porn shops outside of the city limits...or at least hang the Lord's Prayer in every classroom??

In short, it's become a very slippery slope from what's unpopular for SOME, to what SHOULD be legal or madated for ALL. Take a look at the neurotic automatons out Universities are churning out. You can't fart on these campuses without some group of 20-something zombies wanting to lynch you. These people will someday be running the country, and with all the outcries of "sexualizing", contributing to the "rape culture", the vilification of flirting and the vitriolic hatred against free thinking, we could be setting the stage for a modern day Dark Age.
