People still have sex? Amazing!
Warning: You may want to wash thoroughly after reading about this repulsive yobbo.
Yeah, Wes. I read the piece yesterday morning (being in LA, I'm a subscriber)...before I showered. Juvenal, Petronius, where are you? Why didn't Ms Hoffman have this putz arrested, when she had the chance? Look, nobody enjoys a good time any more than I do, and nobody is more reluctant to cast stones than I am. But this is the stuff of high decadence. Social rot is at the core of this pretty fabric. And people raise their eyebrows at me when I casually remark that I am buying all the gold I can get my hands on, whenever there is a dip in price. There's a connection -- few (if any) of us can handle a sea of relativity without drowning. I know my limits, and I am determined to stay afloat as long as possible in a world gone mad. Yeats, Haydn, Mahler, Scotch, and gold. That ought to just about do it. Cheers, Clifton
