It’s been quite the Scorpio Full Moon, hasn’t it? We are in sex scandal du jour mode at the moment. However: is yesterday’s revelation (all over the news today) that Arnie fathered a kid with a household staff member really such a shock?
Doesn’t everyone want to fuck a movie star? I mean, maybe not Arnie, but wouldn’t you?
That, and I’m wondering how it’s news that people have sex, and that sex sometimes leads to pregnancy. I’m guessing that all the people who currently work as news reporters were subjected to abstinence-only sex ‘education’ indoctrination in school and have no clue about the birds and the bees. In case you didn’t hear it on CNN, sex is natural. Marriage is another story.
This would not be a story were it not for this concept of marriage as the magic fidelity-maker — one ring to rule them all. I’m not against marriage, per se — I just have some issues regarding what people believe about it. It is not magic. It does not change human nature. It’s barely part of human nature, though sometimes it may be. We have no way to tell, personally, because we cannot relive our lives without having the concept cracked over our heads 24 hours a day.
If we set aside the huge surprise associated with sex and biology, this would not be a story if not for the marriage-related scandal. It would not be a story had Arnie not been governator.
