<<What's wrong with sex and money?>> As adults, we may have had dozens of partners and we may chase after wealth. And we may enjoy doing so. But I do not think we plan to teach our children that this is the norm, or even acceptable. They need to grow up knowing that there are societal norms and limits to promiscuous behavior, and well as the manner in which wealth is achieved. If the moral limits are not strongly embedded into their upbringing, societal decay seems inevitable. Under Clinton, I believe that our society took a giant step in the wrong direction. Watch any "sitcom" on television today. Loose women and loose homosexuals are everywhere to be found (of course white men are depicted universally as quirky idiots). Now, if I am a 25 year old guy hanging out at the sports bar, I am pretty happy if women are as wanton as you see on "Elimidate" or "5th Wheel". But if I am 35 and I want to get married, I do not want those types of women. It doesn't bother me that some people choose to act in this manner in real life, but to see the mid-20's single lifestyle so popularized on television is disturbing to me. On another subject, I have shorts on DNA and via Rydex Venture opened today.
