Fred why did you raise the issue of virgins'? TC predicts that the next cultural based legal battle on the right will be to overturn Obergefell vs. Hodges, the 2015 5-4 decision where the Court decided that the 14th Amendment gives same-sex couples the right to marry. What does that have to do with virgins? Have you been searching for one yourself and came up empty?

A euphemism. The right is setting up a series of dominos (test cases) whereby progressive gains are pushed back (in their minds) and the hope they have is to go back in time to a period I was raised in when Christian morality was touted (family value, every bride a virgin, no contraceptives or sex without procreation intent, good girls didn't get pregnant or have abortions, only whites were truly worthy, everyone went to church, light coloreds might be hired to fulfill some jobs, etc) while in the breach, most of those were ignored or gotten around in my neigborhood (Baptists drank, might beat their wife, divorced, etc). So, a play on the old line about there being as much chance of going back to that mythical time "as finding a virgin in a Las Vegas whore house." Just didn't want to be inappropriate on TC's substack. 😉
Finding a virgin in a Las Vegas whore house -- not even among the kitchen or cleaning staff? Fred, I enjoyed our exchange very much and your writing was sexy as hell. We must do this again.
I'd have to defer on that. In a recent novel, that was an apprentice position. I believe Cloud Cuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr. Thanks. Your offerings of how to make a difference are invaluable.

It's not possible (being inappropriate) since there are no idiots here. :-)

Do your recommend the book? Your library sounds like a fun place on a Saturday night. I might drop by, if you don't mind.
Your last question I'll have to give some thought to. 😊 Have a good weekend.
Wish I was a candidate, but you can't always get what you want. 🍒
Guffaw
