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

glimpse of maybe a few body parts
strewn across the road. Folks

is in video stores, where our children

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.
