Cuddle Puddle

I heard this on Laura Ingraham this morning. It is a New York magazine article chronicling the lives and sexual habits of some highly gifted, very confused teens at a prep school in New York. I read the article and besides being a little shocked, I found that these are pretty normal kids if you take away the ultra-liberal outlook they have been fed from society and in school since the time they were in diapers. They mention the home lives of one or two but I would really be interested to know where all of these kids come from spiritually, emotionally, familialy, etc... I would bet dimes to dollars that this information would be as or more telling as hanging out with them for a few days. A group of kids like this in my opinion are a result of their respective and collective environments.

In addition the nonchalant way this writer goes about explaining their activities disturbs me. He assumes that there is nothing wrong with being promiscuous, nothing abnormal about men being attracted to other men, women to other women, etc... By his neutrality, he ignores the cart going before the proverbial horse and thus many of his assumptions are based therein. The one redeeming point in this article came in the truth that stated "Like it or not, emotions get involved. If you look closer, you can see the hint of longing, the momentary pouting, the tiny jealousies." In saying this the author reveals that he understands the dynamic of human interaction present here and that there are emotional lives involved in this sexual free for all, consequences to be paid, even moral absolutes if you take that to its logical endpoint. I feel afraid for these kids, afraid for a society that will one day be governed by a generation of amoral geniuses who have been failed by their elders, and there parents.
