I'm really happy this article has been posted for discussion.
I stumbled across it last year.

Although I make my living in research science, I do have a real amateur love of
things Roman and other articles of antiquity.

BUT...this Prager article BLEW MY MIND!
A couple year of Latin and reading Roman history, as well as talking to my brother
who took a number of courses in "the classics" (read ancient Greeks) did not
prepare me for the sexual pecadillos of those "Noble Romans" and "Noble Greeks", etc.

From my past experience, and the generally good public-relations image the "ancients"
get in a lot of school courses...this article should be REQUIRED READING for
high school kids in schools AND those receiving religious instruction
at temple or church!

And people should ask themselves...
"Hey, our great-great-great-great-etc. grandparents tossed this sexual "freedom" B.S. to
the side of the road...do we really want to follow San Francisco and Europe
back down into the abyss?"

Right!

The action in San Francisco is a BIG DEAL!!!!

"...do we really want to follow San Francisco and Europe
back down into the abyss?"

Yes, that's the thing of it. But I have begun to see a pattern, it is not the Western part that the left, etc. gets upset about, it's the CIVILIZATION part that gets their knickers in a twist.

Now, I don't mean the commies (for once), despite all their atheism and failings they were striving to be about "progress", and I don't think they would construe rampant homosexuality as progress, and this article shows us plainly that they'd be right about that!

But the animal-rights people, the anti-globalization groups, the global-warming paranoics, sometimes one gets the feeling they'd like us all to return to the caves, or mud huts, or whatever. And resume again the nasty, brutish, and short lives that used to be mankind's lot.

Between these new babarian hordes, and the progressive commies, why it's enough to make one a (gasp!) Conservative!
