Greetings, Cosyns,

Lyonel ici.

In response to the condom question, bunny...I mean, ALREK KANIN posts the
apt analogy:

Gosh, all these responsible and self-sufficient individuals.  You must al=
l
be so proud of yourselves. =20

Yeah, I try to remember to bring my own sunscreen and insect repellent an=
d
water. I've also, at one time or another forgotten one or another of thes=
e
items (hey, you gotta forget *something* when you go camping--it's an
American tradition).  I've occasionally had to go to a friendly chirurgeo=
n
for a dollop of sunscreen, and I'm particularly thankful that the water
bearers are on the field so I don't have to go trudging all the way back =
to
camp to avoid heatstroke. As for the condoms, well we all know what most
folks do when they forget comdoms:  they rationalize the situation and
convince themselves they really don't need them. =20

Aquilanne already made this point, but I guess it bears repeating.  Yes,
individual responsibility is a wonderful thing to promote, but you don't
promote it by relinquishing social responsibility.  It would be nice if, =
as
Wolf suggests (Wolf, Bunny, Bear--am I seeing a pattern here?), we could
rely upon one another to carry extra stuff to give out to lapsed friends.
Unfortunately, most of us don't have the financial wherewithal to stock a=
ll
we need *and* extras to cover the errors of our comrades.  We do, however=
,
have the wherewithal to give a buck here or there to keep a chirurgeon's =
kit
stocked with sunscreen, bug spray, blankets, and condoms.  I know it isn'=
t a
period proverb, but Poor Richard was right:  An ounce of prevention is wo=
rth
a pound et cetera.

DANGER--SARCASM AHEAD

As for Bear's argument concerning the lunatic fringe:  yes, let's be very
careful not to do anything to upset the loonies.  Oh.  But wait.  The
loonies in Texas include the KKK.  They object to non-white leadership.
Gosh, you don't suppose they've seen His Majesty?  Whoa.

lo vostre por vos servir
