Spike Lee’s new movie “Chiraq†has an interesting take on how to end the violence in Chicago: Withhold sex from men to stop the carnage.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Women withholding relations to end violence in Chicago. We know how that would turn out:
CONNIE
Michael! You lousy bastard — you killed my husband! You waited until Papa died so nobody
could stop you, and then you killed him. You blamed him for Sonny — you always did.
Everybody did. But you never thought about me — you never gave a damn about me. Now
what am I going to do?
KAY
Connie...
CONNIE (to Kay, after Kay puts her arms around her)
Why do you think he kept Carlo at the mall? All the time he knew he was gonna kill’im.
(then, to Michael)
And you stood Godfather to our baby — you lousy cold-hearted bastard. Want to know how
many men he had killed with Carlo? Read the papers — read the papers!
(then, after she picks up and slams down a newspaper)
That’s your husband! That’s your husband!
[Connie goes toward Michael. Neri holds her back until Michael motions it’s okay]
MICHAEL (taking Connie’s arms as she cries)
Come on...
CONNIE (struggling out of Michael’s arms)
No! No! No!
MICHAEL (to Neri)
Get her upstairs. Get her a doctor.
[Neri takes Connie out of the room. Michael sighs, then lights a cigarette]
MICHAEL (to Kay)
She’s hysterical — hysterical.
KAY
Michael, is it true?
MICHAEL
Don’t ask me about my business, Kay...
KAY
Is it true?
MICHAEL
Don’t ask me about my business...
KAY
No.
MICHAEL (as he slams his hand on the desk)
Enough!
(then)
Alright. This one time [Michael points his finger] — this one time I’ll let you ask me about my affairs...
KAY (whispering)
Is it true? — Is it?
MICHAEL (quietly, shaking his head)
No.
KAY (after a sigh of relief and Michael kisses and hugs her)
I guess we both need a drink, huh?
You know - he’s
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
Ladies requiring a man to marry them before having sex
requires the man to be marriageable
have a steady income
not be violent.
Seems like this is “tried and true” in history.
I recall reading years ago where it DID work in one of those terrible civil wars over there between a couple of tribes. The women from both sides got together and came up with the idea of NO SEX until the men stopped fighting. Although I have a feeling those women have better self-control than those in our inner-cities. Also - they probably all had real husbands too.
But how will your boyfriend react Spike? lol
I always thought Spike Lee was an empty-headed fool. Now I’m convinced.
A.K.A. the Lysistrata Project -- the surge in prostitution might be good for the city's gov't, if Raum could figure out how to tax the hookers. And even if successful, wouldn't the sudden loss of murders lead to gentrification?!? Oh, heavens to Betsy!
Refocus the violent impulse from other street thugs to women. Is this guy some SOOOOOOPER GENIUS or what?
Is that like being a mudshark?
As Lily von Schtupp might say, "It's twue, it's twue."
