Read MoreNote: Today and tomorrow, I’ll be sharing three stories. Each shares a connection to Africa. They’re all deeply personal. And until now, I’ve never written about them.
Read MoreToday’s column makes me feel dirty for writing it.
Not because today’s column is about sex — because I see nothing wrong with two consenting adults engaging in physical acts as natural as eating and drinking. And not because the salacious “crime” of prostitution is hereby alleged, which is perfectly legal in the world’s more advanced countries where local laws aren’t written by Bible-thumping hillbillies.
I’m sickened by writing today’s column because it forces me to expose myself to the tacky musings of bottom-feeding creeps who revel in the lascivious details of others’ sex lives.
Read MoreCan someone explain the logic behind “legal age” laws in this country?
How’s it possible that we allow 18-, 19-, and 20-year-olds to freely enlist in the military and perhaps even die a senseless death over in a faraway place — as indeed happens every single day — but these same brave young people can’t buy a beer?
Read MoreI was raised in the Roman Catholic Church.
To this day, most of my family are practicing Catholics. I attended Catholic School (Holy Trinity in the Oak Lawn section of Dallas) — the same school run by the priest who gave President Kennedy last rights. I attended mass regularly (strong emphasis on the past tense). I was a member of the Knights of Columbus. I once played on the church soccer team, which was called the “Crusaders” (seriously). My Godfather graduated from the University of Notre Dame. That’s as Catholic as it gets.
