Sanity and common sense are lacking in far too many people these days,
as they probably always have been,


I have only a son. I do not have daughters, but I have nieces. I realize
that there is an incredible taboo when it comes to recognized that they
have certain female charms. Several of my nieces are really good looking
and bodily gifted. I do not lust after them. That would be too weird to
even think about, but I have to acknowledge that they are hot.
