SEX REIGNS SUPREME in america, does it not? How could anyone argue otherwise? Every television show, every character, oozing sexual content, like our entire culture. And I think we might also all agree that it isn't because of christianity or socialism.
In a nutshell, its because of capitalism. Corporate capitalism, Marketing and advertising. In spite of christianity, and christian morality, not because of it. Maybe a little christian morality directed towards corporate decision makers about the morality of using sex to seduce people and increase profits might be in order.
But, so be it. Long live the free market, long live freedom, yes my fellow americans? But it does sometimes seem strange that so often conservative christians expouse the virtues of capitalism, when jesus seems to've been more socialistic.
Its a bit insulting, knowing that my corporate masters think I'm so shallow that I can be bought with sex. Its equally insulting that they are quite correct, that I can be.
I cut off my cable TV about a year ago and haven't looked back (for the most part). Best decision I ever made. No more corporate brainwashing! Or at least, not quite as much. Yes, I sometimes jones. I sometimes miss TV. I miss my Yankees on TV.
And someday I surely shall return (to TV watching). But, for now, I'm still happy, and more productive, without it. I dunno, tho...I miss my football too...
