As I was reading this article, I thought of the 1976 film 'Logan's Run', in which those who reached the age of 30 were hunted down and eliminated.

...To put the current spin on this with Mary Kay, once husband reaches 30, she'll more than likely divorce him for someone half his age.

It's a sad story. But not an unusual one. At a school near me, 5 or 6 years ago, a teacher was forced out after she, a woman in her early 30's, was caught in 'affairs' with 2 or 3 sophomores. One of the boys squealed on her. She just disappeared from the school one day, to take (you can't make this stuff up) a job at another school, just not in a teaching capacity. The school hushed it up and no charges were ever filed. Her husband filed for divorce and had to fight for custody of their young child. Yet it never made the news or netted anyone any jail time. So it's sure to happen again.

Interesting you say that, since in the aftermath of the Mary Kay scandal, I've come across several similar news accounts, one of which recently involved another female teacher in her early thirties, who was arrested for making advances towards one of her male students.

...Must be something in the water, I guess. Or these are some very disturbed and physchologically damaged women.

I think you've said it best. Our cultures downward spiral regarding mores seems to be having some reprecussions. I don't know how much of is was simply unreported or underreported years ago, but it does seem to be more of an epidemic in the last decade or so. The story I'm familiar with locally never made the news, sparing the innocent victims - her hubby and child, but at first it irked me that, once again, scandal at that school was swept under the carpet. There do seem to be more of these women than ever. And it doesn't help that the young males are more sexually active than before.

'There do seem to be more of these women than ever. And it doesn't help that the young males are more sexually active than before.'

...You can thank our wonderful educational system in America for that. Ever since Alfred Kinsey uleashed his sexual threories back in the late '40s, we have been given the Sex Education In The Classroom debacle, with clueless 'educators' standing in for parents. By clueless I mean not knowing what is best for the children on that subject. So now we have youngsters who know better how to put a condom on a banana or cucumber than they know how to read or write. Is it any wonder Latourneau was attracted to this guy? He probably had a Sex Ed class when he was 10 years old. Wouldn't surprise me, not in the least.

Theories! Always makes me want to spit, and I don't spit. In my college psychology classes, in the early 80's, shortly before every deviant behavior became normalized, we learned about his theories and how he tested them. And how they were being condemned, the methods at least. (I guess the lefties had to hurry and step up to put an end to that!) It was absolutely revolting. Nauseating and difficult to hear. Now we have a movie celebrating and glamorizing him as some modern day savior. Ugh. Yes, little wonder we have promiscuous teens and teachers hitting on them and worse.

And the educators may be clueless on what is really best for kids, but those supplying the materials have a definite agenda. It's sad. Yes, Vili (sp) was probably well versed in sex-ed by the 6th grade. I wonder if there would have been all the hubbub if Vili had been attracted to a same sex teacher? They want that normalized and the whole 'age of consent' lowered, so... And given the sexual sophistication of jr high kids, and their immaturity, I'm sure they had a whole slew of jokes and innuendos about those sex-ed classes that they 'tried out' on teachers to get a reaction. Perhaps Mary Kay mistook that for appropriate and flirtatious behavior. Ugh...

...Yep, a film which garnered a Best Actor nomination, and correct me if I'm wrong, Best Picture. Thankfully it lost in all the categories it was nominated for. As much as I like Ralph Finnes, this was not his finest hour (if you'll pardon the pun here). But it certainly does illustrate just how perverted and twisted our society has become. When 'Kinsey' was released last year, the New York Times literally swooned over it; I got so disgusted I could not finish reading the review. What's wrong is right and what's right is wrong.

Would anyone be surprised if she cheats on Villi with another kid?

I'm glad it lost on all accounts. I couldn't even watch the awards. Right, I remember comments on how he 'saved' Americans from their puritanical roots and helped educate us prudish Americans. I generally like Ralph Fiennes, too, (and your pun!) and was disappointed to see him in it, as the media gleefully reported how 'stars' jumped at the chance to be a part of this movie dramatizing an important turning point in our history with the given it would advance their careers. Liam Neeson said something like that, too, on a talk show. Ugh.

But it certainly does illustrate just how perverted and twisted our society has become.

We are through the looking glass. And most people have become oblivious to it. Like when Rome burned and the parties rolled on. Racing down that vast, gleaming waterslide to hell.

Yes, "modern" means not only "immorality" but anarchy and several other undesirable things as well!

Thanks for the article. I've told lots of people about my theory regarding "modern" art and architecture and immorality. They think I'm nuts. But I've observed it many times.

Most cultures have a unique architectural style. You can see a picture of a Russian cathedral and know it's Russian, a Chinese temple and know it's Chinese, and so on. It's interesting to note the period in which "modern" architecture became all the rage in America and the cultural changes that were taking place during the same time. It's almost as if the ugly, unimaginative, and plain looking buildings are an outward manifestation of the rebellion from all things traditional. And I guess that's what it is. When someone is attracted to modern art and architecture it's an indication (to me) that they're rebelling from the traditional or the "norm" - which is morality, decency, and honesty.

I saw a good example of this in my own family. I started to take note when my cousin sold his traditional home and moved his family into a "Frank Lloyd Wright" style home. He then started selling off all of his furniture and antiques and replaced them with "impressionist" paintings, hideous modern furniture, and bizarre sculptures. His mother, my aunt, said something to me about his wanting to sell our family antiques from Ireland. I bought the antiques and told her that he must be involved in immoral behavior. She scoffed and I didn't say anything else about it to anyone.

Just like clockwork, he stopped attending Church and withdrew himself from our family. Several years went by. He then turned it around, sold the house, and we're back in business. He's admitted that during that time he was cheating on his wife (they had been married 7 years at that time) with a young woman. He ended up getting her pregnant and coerced her into having an abortion.

It was amazing to watch his personal life and taste change in concert. Modern equals immorality. I'm fully convinced that there's something to this.

That's a fascinating story, and very thought-provoking. There's probably a psychological component involved in the transition. The human mind equates beauty with harmony and order, which we honor by allegiance to truth and goodness. When those things are violated, I suppose it's only natural that the transgressor would seek to remove himself from proximity to the things which continually remind him of his sin. It makes me wonder how many sexual deviants indulge themselves in atheism, not because they disbelieve in God, but because the idea of God is simply incompatible with what they do. If you've ever read any of the Marquis de Sade's works (quite nasty, but very instructive) you'll see something akin to this.

For some time now I've toyed with the idea of writing a novel concerning a wealthy middle-aged lute player who uses the beauty of Renaissance music to seduce the young girls under his tutelage. I see now that any allegiance to beauty would probably be nothing more than a sham; that such a person's true qualities would be diametrically opposed to the love of beauty. If I ever get around to actually writing the thing, I'll be sure to adjust the plot accordingly.

Meanwhile, here's a nice English lute song that touches on the demise of beauty:

Love stood amazed at sweet Beauty's pain,
Love would have said that all was but vain,
And gods but half divine.
But when Love saw that Beauty would die,
He all aghast to heavens did cry,
O Gods, what wrong is mine!

Then his tears, bred in thoughts of salt brine,
Fell from his eyes, like rain in sunshine,
Expelled by rage of fire.
Yet in such wise as anguish affords,
He did express, in these his last words,
His inifinite desire.

Are you fled, Fair, where are now those eyes?
Eyes but too fair; envied by the skies,
You angry gods do know,
With guiltless blood your sceptres you stain.
On poor true hearts like tyrants you reign,
Unjust! Why do you so?

Are you false gods? Why then do you reign?
Are you just gods? Why then have you slain,
The life of Love on earth?
Beauty, now thy face lives in the skies,
Beauty now let me live in thine eyes,
Where bliss felt never Death.

Then from high rock, the rock of Despair,
He falls in hope to smother in the air,
Or else on stones to burst.
Or on cold waves to spend his last breath,
Or his strange life to end by strange death,
But Fate forbids the worst.

With pity moved, the gods then change Love,
To Phoenix' shape, yet can not remove,
His wonted properties.
He loves the sun, because it is fair,
Sleep he neglects; he lives but on air,
And would, but cannot die.

"Well, she's half right. She was married when she raped the 12-year-old. She is insane."

She is one weird selfish woman. I feel sorry for her first husband and her first set of kids. Can't even imagine the hurt, disgust and embarrassment her first set of kids endure especially when the whore mongering and pandering media plays and replays the Mary Kay saga like some road side car wreck.

Mary Kay is not Cinderella !!
