Dobson is scary in a great many ways. I find his views on homosexuality particularly offensive. Then there is this book...

...smack full of pictures of "boys being boys." Rather than being a celebration of "boyness" I found it rather creepy. I imagine it's the sort of picture book that NAMBLA people would like. Add the domination stuff in and it's a recipe for abuse. I really wonder it Dobson isn't transfering his own desires into punishing those he actually desires (and possibly hates himself for desiring). But I'm no licensed psychoanalyst.

Posted on entry Why don't we get together, and call ourselves an institute. ::: May 26, 2004, 09:06 PM:
Instead of a department "chair" how about chaise lounge? Or an ottoman? I'd love to be the "Recliner of Accidie". Lazyboy seems to pale in comparison.

Another place the "marriage is for procreation" argument doesn't wash is marriages between people past the age of procreation. There doesn't seem to be any barriers to getting married for those in rest homes or retirement communities (other than complaints of children worried about their inheritance that is). I suspect Liz Taylor has been past her childbearing years for at least the last couple of her marriages. And (to play devil's advocate) wouldn't that argument suggest that older men should divorce wives past the age of fertility and marry fertile ones?

I'm appalled by the "holier than thou" behavior at some weddings. Sigh, why can't people just learn the golden rule? "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything." (the musical strains of "What the world needs now. Is love, sweet love." echo through the hollows of my mind).

Atwood and Simpsons
That there personal ad (0ver there-to the left) bothers me for some reason. I'm not surprised that her professor likes Atwood and Simpsons--heck--I like Atwood and the Simpsons. I like Chaucer and Sandman, too. But no one ever got a crush on me for it, did they?
Definitely acoustic bagels. Electric ones are hard to eat.
