By SCOTT PRUDEN Staff writer As a rule, dead people are no fun. Unless you're a necrophile, that is. Or just enjoy a good funeral ev-" ery once in a while. Otherwise, death to us here on the physical "plane is usually considered a downer. Even so, your every day folks tend to have an unusual facination < with that which no longer lives, or is in the process of becoming dead. Personally, I think it's one of the least attractive human features. Examples of this are everywhere. People slow down for |j|| traffic accidents, just to catch a glimpse of maybe a few body parts strewn across the road. Folks ^ watch the news on a nightly basis PV -r to see Muslims blowing up Christians and Jews blowing up Arabs. And one of the worst examples is in video stores, where our children will learn the correct ways to /' a be violent / Jam Take the kids down to Ed's Video Palace and see what they pick out or even better, see what you let them pick out.

Scott Pruden's\ Lifestyles gans, he gets his little pubescent hand slapped for being a pervert. Youngsters shouldn't even know the stuff they do in those movies, let alone be allowed to watch it on their own. Those cultivate the wrong ideas about sex and love in little young minds. Now you just run along and watch yourFaces of Death movie and learn what's really important To be absolutely blunt, I would much rather explain to my kid why that woman is moaning like that or that not every male is equiped like John Holmes than why Freddie Krueger feels compelled to gore small children and torment teenagers in their sleep. Tell -the truth. Would you rather your kid play doctor with the girl next door or think of exciting new ways to do her in? Okay. Go ahead and call me a porn pusher. I make no apologies. It's just that I've always appreciated a pleasant, soft, rounded female silhouette uncluttered by such things as rototillers or butcher knives. And I've also alwavs had a marked aversion to violence, unless it was for my own protection. And unless this world of ours is ever expected to turn into a nice place, moms and dads everywhere are going to have to stop saying sex, a perfectly natural human function required for reproduction (and pretty fun, besides), is a bad and gross thing, while saying mass slashings and gashings are perfectly okay. Love, or even lust, is better than death.
