A new creative turn in the life of man cannot occur unless the creators first dispense with the illusions. So, Mr. Fraser has done his part here.
Pornography is an illusion being used to dispense with the illusion of chastity.
Democracy is an illusion, purporting to establish equality among men. A greater failure cannot be imagined. Justice is an illusion, as many recent famous trials have demonstrated. Justice is beyond the reach of man. Religion is an illusion, perhaps the greatest of illusions.
