How can any intelligent human being could possibly believe the Bible as fact, how gullible, how unfortunate. My experience, don't fight it either; whatever a person chooses to believe, sometimes one feels as though surrounded by a vast majority of rat-like people. They're needlessly argumentative, form their own alliances, spreading their misery. I write this with a half wicked smile, not out of spite, but for a humorous, not dramatic, effect. I despise drama wholeheartedly, and note that recently the news about the NY governor soliciting sex, paying for pussy. So what? He had the money, he didn't want the kind of unwelcome exposure that a one-night stand as supposed to a professional might bring. I am not one to solicit sex, and confess shamelessly that I do so from experience: when I was nineteen years old, just beginning to savor freedom, inspired on Voltaire's ultimatum: Once a philosopher, twice a pervert, I decided to finally act upon something that had largely intrigued me for quite some time. I tried it, and the fantasy didn't live up. I didn't enjoy it enough to ever have to go back again. Besides, why pay for something give up free. Well, it may cost you a few cocktails, a good meal and some cab rides, but it's a far cry from 80,000 dollars. All it shows is that the governor must have valued discretion greatly. Of course, there were other elements in play: the thrill, the naughtiness, the pleasure of acting upon that which is forbidden. We may condemn him easily, but all he ultimately did was pay for pussy. Marriages are not ideal communions, and the powerful have always been very active. It's not like he is suddenly announcing that he plans to leave his wife and run away with a prostitute.
