Subject: RE: BS: Palin VP McCain choice
Again, why is it necessary to bring the very private parts of someone into a conversation. It is probably safe to assume, but you can never be sure and does it really matter, that people will have more or less gender-specific organs. But they are called private for a reason. It is very very offensive to me, not out of prudishness as much as a sense of privacy, which is deemed a fundamental right in the U.S. To me it is just plain wrong to assault these privacy issues. It is OK to do it for Obama. It is OK to do it for HIllary. So soon it will be OK for creeps and lechers to discuss the private plumbing of your daughters, and your sons. It is public domain now. It is horrible. Trust me, as this disease spreads, it will be less and less safe for particuarly young and adolescent people if other people feel it is OK to talk in public, very public, about the genitals of strangers. Where are our boundaries? mg
