of all other associations for being "special"?

Was Freud onto something after all, as clumsy and ill researched as his theories might have been?

Birth control has severed the association between sex and procreation so can the latter still be the reason people get so uptight about sex?

Somehow I feel that, like the JFK assassination, this is a question that will never be fully or satisfactorily answered.

My bet is that the question of aesthetic bias hangs mightily among the culprits, but that is only a supposition based on what I see motivating people's strongest reactions.

Aesthetic bias has a unique and incorrigible tendency to blind.

Truth can not exist in darkness, after all.

WHAT do you suppose that dude does in bed?  Does it involve police uniforms, dental floss, and cast iron skillets?

Is that if it wasn't pleasurable, people wouldn't do it.   Don't forget that courts vary rarely make new law.  Laws are passed by legislators and state houses that may have very puritanical majorities.  As we start the Thanksgiving holiday, we musn't forget that this country was started in large part by puritanical extremists who escaped England because the English became less rigid in legislating morality and "pleasure".  Courts are loathe to step too harshly on laws passed by elected officials who, in theory at least, are acting on behalf of those who elected them.   Courts often have to dance around morality issues to strike a balance between what is constitutional and how some of our less enlightened elected officials think we should behave.

Is it still permitted to ask why it is a religious tenet among so many to insist that government "stay out of the bedroom" yet be involved with every other aspect of our lives?

The legislature may do something, but the cops won't. They're too busy sitting in their squads on the side of the road beating off.
