Here's my suggestion: let them have it. Just do it. Let the sexually bitter and morally frantic conservative groups now dictating governmental policy and FCC agendas and paranoid media attitudes have their time, their brief cultural burp, their little speed bump on the great and beckoning highway that will still lead us all, inexorably, irreversibly, though often agonizingly, toward grinning open-thighed progress.
Because here's the fabulous thing: no matter what these faux-Christian groups do, no matter how hard they oppress and protest and clamp down, this is a road that leads, despite all dour headlines and sour prognostications otherwise, toward spiritual illumination, toward awareness, toward sexual openness and same-sex marriage and revelatory sodomy and free vibrators for teenage girls and lesbians kissing open mouthed in the streets. In Kentucky. In the daytime. On Sunday.

Don't move to Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas or Illinois, then. Indiana gets its share, but not like Tornado Alley. Max has watched the movie "Twister" until the tape is worn out. He fast forwards to all the tornado parts. He's very particular--it's only tornadoes, no hurricanes.
Hmm - every place has its dangers.

We get mold here, with the ever present possibility of earthquakes. I say "No thanks" to earthquakes!
You do have volcanoes, however--(another Max fetish)...albeit sleeping for now.
Right - I forgot volcanoes! I like the Hawaii kind, you can get up close without being destroyed.
Double smile.
Nothing more than nihilism Nietzche described a hundred years ago finally come to pass.
It's sad because he's attempting to find in orgasm what most people find in religion, philosophy or art.
