Check out Common Sense, substitute the Feds for the British, and you'll find it to be more relevant now than ever. I guess it wouldn't have left enough time to tell us how great the New Deal was and ram all that other lefty-pinko crap down our throats before we developed a capacity for reason. The Old Grouch certainly has nothing against sex, I wish I could get more of it. But there's a time and place for everything. We don't drop our pants and take a dump in the middle of the street just because we feel a gas pang.
Civilized people have enough discipline to hold their bowels in check until they get to a bathroom.
They have also learned to delay sexual gratification until they get to the privacy of a bedroom. They even included this thing in the Constitution called the 2nd Amendment that allows Joe Sixpack to have guns so that he can take pot shots at politicians with no class and atrociously bad manners. Maybe the Constitution really doesn't mean exactly what it says. The way it's going now, it seems most people would love to have a government official wipe their ass for them. But the Old Grouch prefers to have his privacy during such moments.
