Earlier a friend sent me a link which has graphic photos purporting to show children (gasp!) engaging in one of the most evil and perverted acts it is possible for humans to perform. It is so awful that I blush in contemplation of it. That’s because it is the ultimate taboo. The most evil activity in which man can engage.
I refer to an act so vile and unspeakable that even the few remaining adults who perform it at all are shunned by decent society. I dare not name it, but the idea of children doing such a sickening thing revolts the senses and turns the stomach.
There are even pictures, and let me warn you, these are not for the squeamish.
I have in the past had the courage to cover this issue in all of its depraved detail in the blog, but I don’t know how long I can keep it up, for it may soon be completely illegal to depict children in such vile acts. And why not? Surely they are victims, and helping to enabling the victimization of a single child enables the victimization of them all, does it not?
This is a health issue, by God! And if health is involved, then the government has to be involved, right? Otherwise, what’s the point of putting us all in the same risk pool?
What I cannot get over is the lackadaisical attitude shown by some commenters when this issue was raised in the past.
Aw, smoking never hurt Huck or Tom none, and they come out heroes and rich in the end.
‘Fore long I reckon kids won’t be allowed to read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer much any more, on account of it’s a might threatenin’ to their morals.
I can’t think of a better reason to ban the vicious (and racist) books Twain wrote than that.
We owe it to our children!
I’m reminded of the famous but never verified Edmund Burke quote that I have seen invoked as implied authority for many a forwarded email:
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
So why are so many good men asleep at the wheel while evil prevails?
MORE: In other news, M. Simon reminded me that Jerry Garcia just turned 70. Like the Beatles and McDonalds and Timothy Leary and Big Tobacco, he made children consume things that were bad for them.

And let us not forget the moral of the story. Jerry was consumed by his consumption.
Yer welcome. 😉
As with oxygen. We must literally burn up to live any time at all.
Why did I KNOW before I even clicked…what that ULTIMATE EVIL was. ROFL.
and a tune to go with it.
Excuse me, I’m going out for a fag…as the Brits say. 😉
Ummm… as for Jerry Garcia, may he requiescat in pace. His music was all he sold for consumption. And I don’t really think it was bad for kids. Maybe a bit too mellow at times…
I loved Jerry Garcia and wept the day he died. Of a massive heart attack, which was missed because he was in a drug detox program at the time. The autopsy report described his heart arteries as so blocked that only a pinpoint flow of blood could have made it through.
It wasn’t heroin or inhaling coke that killed him. More likely it was inhaling triple cheeseburgers. To think he just would have turned 70…
I was working for Zenith Computer when Jerry died. As is normal in the computer industry there were more than a few heads, Dead and otherwise. Me and one other Dead Head (20 years my junior I might add) cried that day. And at work we had very long faces. The rest of the crowd was amused at our pain. Which I can totally understand. I had a technician once who was out of it for days when his pet rat died. Everyone who worked with him was secretly amused in his presence and not so secretly when he wasn’t around.
Kathy,
Was this the song you had in mind?
The First Mate asked for “Box of Rain” after the concert Eric alluded to.
such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there
Simon, I like Tex’s version too…though Commander Cody’s was the first I heard.
And Box of Rain. Damn, I miss The Grateful Dead. I like the first ‘top comment’ on the YouTube link. It says: “I wish that I’d never heard this song, just so I could listen to it again for the first time.?”
