Well put. >The main problem is there are those >who go to get laid, and they assume everyone else does as well. I've said (posted) this before, and I'll say it again. What's wrong with going out to get laid? It's just as valid a goal as going out to dance or going out to meet people. The only problem I can see with it would be dishonesty, i.e., don't tell someone you're interested in really getting to know them if you just want to go to bed with them. I know this was not meant to be one of Eric's major points, but I had to react to it because this kind of attitude seems to come up on the net all the time. Did I just hallucinate the Sexual Revolution, or did everyone else just forget it (or worse, believe Time's cover story that it's over). Again, sorry Eric. I don't mean to pick on you in particular. I'm trying to use your posting to make a larger point. Chris
