The sexual urge, or drive, is a powerful one. There is no question about it. And there have always been perversions, illicit and irresponsible activities from it. But you have heard of the ‘good old days' haven't you? Actually, as I just said, there were always breaches of morality and sinful practices, so don't think I'm trying to bash a certain time, group, or anything else without acknowledging that there is nothing new to report. But, there is difference, and I'm not at all sure that our new way is better...in fact I think it is worse. Much worse.
Although illicit and perverted sex has always existed, there has developed means and opportunites to multiply and encourage opportunities for such things. And more than anything else is, the attitude of people towards those things. Most think that anything is alright.
Take a quick look at the sexual antics you can read of almost every day. It appears that the large part of politicians are involved in some kind of immoral activities, be it other women or homosexuality. One case always comes back to my mind when I speak of these things. Back in November, 2007 there were nine men arrested in an upstairs male restroom of a Daytona Beach Sears store. Conducting a regular sex orgy in a public restroom! One was a high school teacher, another, a former city councilman.
But what prompted me to write this article is something I read only this morning. It was discovered that employee usage if their government computers to watch pornographic web sites within the National Science Foundation increased by six-fold over the past year. It was so extensive the inspector general of the agency, whose job is to uncover fraudulent grant money requests and usages, had to reduce the normal business in order to manage the internal increase in this illegitimate usage of company computers and time.
One senior executive was found to have spent 331 days watching porn on his government computer and also chatting with nude or partially nude women. After being discovered, the official retired, offering several excuses, one of which was that hewanted to help those poor foreign women who were doing this for sustenance
The independent foundation, funded by taxpayers to the tune of $6 billion in 2008, is tasked with handing out scientific grants to colleges, universities and research institutions nationwide. The projects it funds ranges from mapping the genome of the potato to exploring outer space with powerful new telescopes. It has a total of 1,200 career employees.

It is reported the inspector general closed 10 employee misconduct cases in 2008, up from 3 in 2007... 7 of the 10 included pornography. There are still some cases pending. The inspector general's office is in place for investigating fraudulent or misuse of federal grants and the recovery of such funds. But the internal problems have detracted from their regular work. Obviously, there are a number of employees who have far too much time to spare. It seems that this type of waste would be a large part of what the administration should go for. |
