Whenever I hear some bigmouth in Washington or the Christian heartland banging on about the evils of sodomy or whatever, I mentally enter his name in my notebook and contentedly set my watch.

They have the expectations that parents will keep them safe and happy and are shocked by the broken covenant. Adolescents are unforgiving.
