Here is my example with WFTD.
"We are proud of Motorola's growing history with the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT) community, including its support of our internal GLBT employee group and organizations that are important to us," write Bob Williams and Audrey Lin, co-leaders of Motorola's Gay & Lesbian Business Council in a letter posted on the website.
A call to Williams was not returned. Lin told WorldNetDaily she did not want to comment.
Motorola Corporate Communications Senior Director Margot Brown told WorldNetDaily the Gay & Lesbian Business Council is one of five corporate groups Motorola created in 2000 to improve "business links to diversity" and "to have an inclusive environment." In addition to gays and lesbians, Asians, blacks, Latinos and women are represented by these corporate councils. (snip)
"However, the homosexual activists are by far the most feared by management," he said, "And, it appears, [they] have free rein of internal media, corporate resources, and event scheduling."
"White male Motorolans often joke about forming a club, website, or common activity," the engineer continued.
But insecurity born out of Motorola's apparent priority of diversity keeps them quiet about their anger.
Diversity is the corporation’s cry
Include everyone except the white guy
Moral turpitude
Is no longer rude
It’s turning our nation into a pig sty
Moral Turpitude
What should be behind closed doors
Motorola loves
Now before anyone starts in on my lack of tolerance, you better get your stories straight. I don’t care what any two/three/four consenting adults do behind closed doors. If they want to destroy themselves, let them, just don’t involve children, non-consenting adults or animals.
Also, don’t make me welcome your alternative lifestyle, and certainly don’t bring that garbage to work. You’re nothing special, therefore you shouldn’t get special rights. Diversity is destroying us, from the inside.
My homework is an example of the opposite of turpitude... Peggy Noonan meets the Pope.

Hey, Torch, what should we interpret, Dude
About the extent of your turpitude?
In a statement quite strong
You admit to no wrong
You’re a sleazeball, of that there is certitude
And, on this same subject, as an end-of-the-week extra credit...
My soapbox issue of the day was triggered by watching the WorldCon execs getting arrested. These guys were in their young 40's. They have grown up in the times when all the "old-fashioned" morals were thrown out. Just as the sexual revolution was promised to usher in a new era, so was the "new economy" supposed to end the business cycle as we knew it.
However, despite attempts to badmouth the "old ways" in favor of the Brave New World, it's turned out that all these "new ways" were really based on lies and deceit. I'm imagining the WorldConMen saying, "Hey, look at this new way of accounting!"
Well, I'm off on another road trip to Baltimore Monday through Wednesday of next week. I'll check in when I can. The good news is that I have a club level see for the Orioles Tuesday night againt the Twins.
Unlike turpentine, turpitude causes stains. And now for today's poetry.
There are none so blind as won't see.

A human qualude,
Moral turpitude,
Is Bill Clinton's real legacy.
