Sex For Profit

THESE SEXUAL  encounters and affairs involving rich powerful older men and hot young babes are, if nothing else, endlessly amusing, and highly indicative of fundamental human nature. Was it h.l. mencken, or somebody, who said "the fools would be humorous, were they not in such deadly earnest". It was most definitely the ancient greek philosopher Agathon who said "against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."

A good friend of mine, a professor of electrical engineering from Argentina, and a helluve tennis player to boot, cracked me up on the court one day during the bill clinton monica lewinsky hubbab, when, in the middle of a conversation, and right after hitting a backhand lasar down the line, exclaimed: "I do not understand you amellicans and your attitude about clinton. In argentian, we EXPECT our president to have many women!"  I doubled over in laughter, and never even tried to run the ball down. He wouldn't even concede the point, damned cheater.

Whymust we puritanical self righteous hypocritical americans make such a huge display out of everything? If I didn't know better, I'd say corporate profits. If you don't like it, ignor it, and it'll go away.

Throughout the animal kingdom the female seems to be looking for a mate with resources, and the male seems to be looking for a fertile mate. REsources can include youth, age, physical size, wealth, fame, power, social status, job title.....fertility means youth, health,  and symmetrical beauty. When two male antelope fight, the female goes off into the bushes with the winner, usually the larger of the two. Antelopes and humans keep getting bigger.

Bill and monica, patraeus and what's her name? Just being human, that's all. Or, more accurately, just being human animals. A chile once wrote a letter to einstein asking whether human beings are animals. Einstein, as he always did, wrote back, and said: Animals eat, drink, sleep, reproduce, love, fight, and die. What do human beings do?

We, dear reader, are the laughable ones, we who lap up the trash our corporate masters feed us like kittens bent over a dish of cream.

The next time, which will be today, that a major american television network starts its evening news by talking about patraeus and what's her name, and is still talking about them halfway through the news, perhaps we might all consider the possibility of changing stations, and watching a bit of the kardashians, or Desperate Housewives. Anything to get away from all the sensational sex for profit.
