Thanks for your critique - I tried to access these sites from work (where I am now) because I didn't really have time to look at them earlier while at home... I got the firewall not-so-gently telling me that I could not access the site.

Anyhow, the article and the person who thinks the linked articles demolish Dr. Reisman posted on Dominic Bettinelli's blogspot . Mark Shea's blogspot took it up a few days ago but that conversation seems to be over.

I'm going to try to find out more about that lawsuit... that is kind of weird.

Regarding the lawsuit, my guess is that the Kinsey Institute may have burned the relevant files. So it has become a historical mystery, sort of like Stanton's supposed role in the Lincoln assassination and beyonf the power of the court to settle. But if the Kinsey people want to prove their case, all they have to do is to do their own research and punlish it. If it is science, they should get similar results using the same methodology.

I read the Bubbles defense of the Kinsey studies,Chancellor Palpatine or One Particular Harbor had posted something very much like it some time ago.It was a response to an article by the James Dobson group,Focus On Family.

The facts are that the Kinsey studies done on sexuality are difficult to validate or refute for people coming from our position since original research in the attempt would definitely be child abuse. Because of this,the reticence to perform sexual experimentation to prove or disprove whatever the other side is presenting as fact,we will always have to rely on the kind of data Dr. Reissman has presented. I believe it is irrefutable and that she has presented data to support her contentions that the studies were flawed due to the abnormal population from which the data was gathered and the findings generated.This is to say nothing of the lost files and other suspect machinations.

For example,how many times have we heard on the radio news that scientists had discovered a "gay" gene only to find that the study was on nine sets of twins or some such absurdity.

I am really rather out of sorts about this whole mess. I cannot imagine how this country has reached this point. To think that they allow sex education that talks about the alternate life style as being okay,while they teach children that cigarettes can kill and if your parents smoke maybe they don't love you enough to live for you. I just can't deal with the twisting of everything to suit their immediate desires.

Just like AIDS,the amount of money we spend on research and education and medical care is five to twenty times greater than for cancer or heart disease.and whose screaming about it,any of those politicians? No, they are just up there mouthing pithy platitudes and sloganeering and the public seems to be anesthetized to anything. I guess that's the main reason I am so disgusted with our bishops,they lost all of their moral authority and credibility,the fools.

Well,I just had a good thought,sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can start pulling yourself back up. Well,I think American society has hit rock bottom so I pray there is no place to go but up.Now if the son of the father,who is president doesn't get us involved with more foolishness maybe we can heal and use the gifts God bestowed on this country.Whew,I feel much better now.
