"Hefner was a natural consequence of seriously repressed society."

That is totally whacked... Hefner was a publisher in a society that was *NOT* repressed enough to stop him from pushing the envelope on it ...

" He was ushered in on the backlash of the society that was so whacked that some thought it was vulgar and dirty to day "pregnant" on television."

until the point where we dont know what vulgar and dirty is anymore (too many cases of bad taste in entertainment to cite)... Methinks you make Cal Thomas' point. Our standards have indeed fallen.

"It's easy to blame the sexual revolution on the problems we have now."

Usually the truth has a way of being hard to refute.

" Pity that too few are willing to blame the sexual revolution on the foolishness that started the rebellion in the first place."

Ah, yes, Liberal logic at work. Dont blame those who believe in divorce abortion and sexual promiscuity - no! - blame those who are against those things for forcing folks against the wall to be for it! This is the same logic that blames the Americans for terrorist attacks on us, blames society and victims for criminal behavior, etc.

It's nonsense. Blame the puritans for uptight society. Blame the sexual revolution on the sexual revolutionaries ... have no fear, Hef would claim full credit for his part!
