Fast-rooted in the fruitful soil. — Alfred Lord Tennyson

It's magical thinking to imagine that the reason unspeakable things are being perpetrated by younger and younger people is that they've fallen under the influence of seductive, lascivious, prurient, and violent material in books, films, television.

The only other person I have fallen in love with that way is Jesus, and I hope that goes more smoothly.
