Let's send all the perverts back to Perversia

A minister and principal of a "religious" school insists on being called "Sir Noble Prince."

The man was recently charged with raping a female student, age 15. The DA had weak case and Sir Noble Prince was acquitted.

He's been acquitted of the same charges previously and a number of women stepped forward for the first time during the trial to say they too had been molested. The Prince's alleged penchant for forcing his affections on young women troubles me greatly but I'm also very concerned about the man's parishioners and students who willingly call this dufuss, "Sir Noble Prince."

My Mama was the most saintly person I ever knew and she didn't require me, or anyone else, to call her "Madam Brave Queen."

I know. I know. You've got stories that can top the "Prince" Story. Your newspapers and TV are full of kinky stories. I see and read all the same news accounts of human perversion.

One of my dearest friends is a history professor and she tells me, "Mañana Man, you dummy, every period in history has had its perversions. Things are no worse today than they ever were. You just hear about more perversion because the media today is more technologically advanced to disseminate all the news and the public has an insatiable hunger for abnormality."

I just hate it when some expert uses facts to argue against some position I've taken. It infuriates me when people stoop so low as to unfairly use logic, facts, or statistics to back up their arguments.

I think things are worse than ever before.

I guess I'm just an inflexible old fool who's intolerant of other people's peccadilloes. I know that I don't have a single dark secret.

Well, maybe there's just this one teeny weeny insignificant thing....

No, I'm not ready to come out of the closet. I can't bring myself to tell just yet.

Oh, what the heck. I've got to get this off my chest.

I read Reader's Digest!

You hear me world?

I read Reader's Digest!

I read Reader's Digest and I like it.

Whew!

Do I feel better? You bet. It sure is good to get that confession off my chest.

I know it's not chic to read Reader's Digest. My partners read the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and the Economist. Sometimes I leaf through these lofty tomes and look at the pictures. But, I read the Reader's Digest AND I laugh out loud at the jokes in sections like "Life in These United States" and "Humor in Uniform." Furthermore, I sometimes quote the "Quotable Quotes" and I generally spend a few moments pondering the "Points to Ponder." Pondering is always good for my psyche. I think it's therapeudic.
