No Place To Live

Nothing breeds hysteria, especially among women, like sex. It seems to be a matter of shame. Since the days of Freud, people, particularly women, have been getting hysterical over sex. It frightens as well as arouses them.

During the past 10 years or so while the Republicans and conservatives have harped on fear and hatred, sexual hysteria has escalated. It's to the point of mania, irrational and unreasonable. It's like a toddler's fear of the dark or of the monster in the closet. It's unfounded and unreasonable. That doesn't stop otherwise rational persons (especially otherwise sane women) from fearing the pervert more than the gun merchant.

The person living next to you is a pervert, at least he or she is a sexual being. That doesn't make the person dangerous. It makes the person normal. If we're alive and "normal," we're sexual being. It's nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to fear and certainly nothing over which to become hysterical. And in the normal male, at least, there's an element of the sexual hunter looking for satisfaction.

Right-wing political hacks have used terror, fear, in order to gain and hold power. The Republican extremists make you afraid. Then you'll think you need them and give them power. It's unamerican, even neurotic, but for the past 10 years it's created an irrational situation controlling even where people are allowed to live.
