Yes, all this is true. It is also true that those primitive societies
that allowed their children sex play and did not conceal adult
sexuality, were peaceful societies that did not wage war, where theft
was not known, and fidelity to one's mate was routine. Other primitive
cultures that concealed sexuality and punished children for exploring
war-like, unfaithful and deceitful. Too bad no one takes lessons from
history. What am I saying? If that were true the U.S. wouldn't be
reviled around the world, the dollar would still be the preferred
currency, and several hundred thousand people would still be sitting up
to the dinner table each evening.
