To my knowledge, peeping toms were never an issue, but then again we didn't have cell phones, and a video camera was big, heavy, and far too expensive to carry into a damp bathroom where it could slip and break on the tile. Plus the pornification of everyday life had yet to take hold, even there.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-6022317648235805052016-04-12T11:53:04.984-07:002016-04-12T11:53:04.984-07:00At least peeping Toms now know which bathroom to u...At least <a href="http://ace.mu.nu/archives/362759.php" rel="nofollow">peeping Toms</a> now know which bathroom to use.

In other words, we are enclosing man in a prison of ego, transforming a vertically open system into a closed one, which eventually leads to asphyxiation and/or starvation.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Schuon suggests that there are people incapable of finding their own center within and above, and the more you think about it, the more useful this theory appears to be. In other words, even if it isn't literally true, it certainly appears to describe a class -- or caste -- of humanoids who, as he puts it, have "no ideal other than more or less gross pleasure."</i><br /><br />I must admit, with a bit of shame, to have followed the twisted tale of Alison Rapp and her hapless "husband" Jake (look them up at your own risk). He seems to have been, until recently, a Nice Christian Boy with a dream of a Nice, Christian Life, until he met and married one of these self-centered yet centerless black holes. Now he's a "heteroflexible" male escort. The fallout is every bit as ugly as the proverbial trainwreck. Having given themselves over wholly to secular humanism, they have pretty much left their human dignity in tatters.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-85241781877754513522016-04-12T10:21:24.225-07:002016-04-12T10:21:24.225-07:001969: man walks on the moon. 2016: people don&#...1969: man walks on the moon. 2016: people <a href="http://happyacres.tumblr.com/post/142627073989" rel="nofollow">don't know which bathroom to use</a>.<br /><br />Progress!Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-4970478110082097412016-04-12T10:17:36.623-07:002016-04-12T10:17:36.623-07:00In other words, we are enclosing man in a prison o...<i>In other words, we are enclosing man in a prison of ego, transforming a vertically open system into a closed one, which eventually leads to asphyxiation and/or starvation.</i><br /><br />Perhaps this is why NASA had to be reduced from daring space exploration to pointlessly circling the earth.
