Tasting Temptation With James Carroll

Long before I tasted the temptations of sex, I yielded to an irresistible prurience by opening that drawer. Initiation into obscenity. Because primal disobedience is so defining, I found a sense of independent selfhood in relationship to a gun. Only later would I realize how very American that makes me.
No James. It makes you a fetishist. It makes you a pervert.

Do us all a favor--keep it to yourself--we really don't want to know.

I thought keeping government out of peoples' sex lives was a priority. Would you please return the courtesy and keep your infantile sexual deviancy out of my government?

And funny how James rationalizes this one:
Americans should have more shame, not less. A gun is no iPod. Shame is the children's last protection.
What the hell would a "man" who publicly wrote what you just did know about shame? And stay the hell away from my children.

Good grief, where do the antis come up with these misfit losers?
