Meet "Dave".
Today's Parry And Carney links to Luis Rey's website of carefully painted dinosaur pictures. I'm impressed, frankly.

Yet more "Why the right-wing are the creepy sex-obsessed perverts that they accuse others of being"
Sun Myung Moon on sex:"After the act of love," read the instructions from the Rev. Moon's conservative Family Federation, "both spouses should wipe their sexual areas with the Holy Handkerchief. Hang the handkerchief[s] to dry naturally and keep them eternally. They must be kept individually labeled and should never be laundered and mixed up." Don't forget, Moon's money is why Jerry Falwell isn't bankrupt and why you've heard of Tim LaHaye (who addresses him as "master")'s books. He funded Reagan's run at the Presidency, and President Bush called him "The man with the vision" whose newspaper "restores sanity to Washington". President Bush's son, King George the first, has accepted millions on Moonie Money in exchange for favourable decrees.
While I'm at it, Moon on gays: Moon told an audience he'd like to see them removed in a "purge on God's orders.... Gays will be eliminated, the three Israels will unite. If not, then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will bring, but this is what happens. It will be greater than the Communist purge but at God's orders."

Textbooks can make for fun reading.
During the 1750s a Swiss physician Simon Tiscott develloped degeneracy theory, the central belief of which was that semen is necessary for physical and sexual vigor in men. He based this theory on observation about human eunuchs and castrated animals... A descendant of degeneracy theory, abstinence theory, was advocated in America during the 1830s by the Reverend Silvester Graham. The three cornerstones of his crusade for public health were healthy food(Graham crackers were named for him), physical fitness, and sexual abstinence. In the 1870s Graham's most famous successor, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, published a paper in which he ardently disapproved of masturbation and urged parents to be wary of signs that their children were indulging in it. He wrote about the 39 signs of "the secret vice", whiich included weakness, early symptoms of consumption, dullness of the eyes, slepplessness, ficklesness, untrustworthiness, bashfulness, love of solitude, unnatural boldness, mock piety, and round shoulders. As a physicain, Kellogg was professionaly admired and publicly influential, and he eaned a fortune publishing books discouriaging masturbation. His recommended treatments for "the secret vice" were quite extreme. For example, he advocated that especially persistent masturbation in boys be treated by sewing the foresking with silver wire or, as a last resort, by circumcision without anasthesia. Female masturbation was to be treated by burning the clitoris with carbolic acid. Besides deploring masturbation, Kellogg, like Graham, was especially concerned with dietary health. He urged people to eat more cereals and nuts and less meat(which he believed increased sexual desire). Thus, Kellogg's cornflakes were invented "almost literally, as anti-masturbation food".
