    Glad you agree that promiscuous sex is degenerate. The fact that a lot of
    it was and is going on, either blatantly or hush hush, doesn't make it
    right. Your friend reporting on what elementary school kids are writing
    these days makes my point. Pirsig has an explanation for this coarsening
    of our society in Lila, a few snippets of which I posted to Arlo. Rock
    isn't helping to stem this degeneration, for sure.
