Kinsey's pseudoscience arguably did the most damage through our court systems. That's where attorneys used the researcher's "facts" to repeal or weaken laws against abortion, pornography, obscenity, divorce, adultery, and sodomy.

In fact, many of the men Kinsey surveyed were actually prison inmates. Wardell B. Pomeroy, Kinsey co-author and an eyewitness to the research, wrote that by 1946 the team had taken sexual histories from about 1,400 imprisoned sex offenders. Kinsey never revealed how many of these criminals were included in his total sample of "about 5,300" white males. But he did admit including "several hundred" male prostitutes. Additionally, at least 317 of Kinsey's male subjects were not even adults, but sexually abused children.

This is hardly surprising, when you look around at the culture the sexual revolution gave us. We have patterned it on a sampling of deviates.

This is a common mistake --- to look for a force that destroys the old order. Kinsely has not destroyed it at all; if he did not even exist, there would be another Kinsely.

Marriage and our age-old moral would not have been destroyed if we ourselves had continued to live according to Judeo-Christian values. As Judaism and Christianity retreat from public life, as the continue to do since the Enlightenment, the resulting vacuum is filled with garbage such as Kinsely, socialism, environmentalism, etc.

We have met the enemy and it is we ourselves.
