Any given individual can drink and have their own opinions. Any teetotaller can abstain and retain theirs. Drink and drug use through free will is a human right and a public good; thus I've nothing but contempt for people who blame legitimate beliefs they don't like on 'external' factors: mental illness, immorality, deviance, drunkenness. I'd have thought better of you, shame. As for the progression of sin that Helen and Tigtog are discussing: the problem's really a mediaeval one. Which came first, the thought, or the deed? Does the sin lie in the hurtful act against other sons and daughters of God, or in the freely chosen act of evil against God himself? Two hundred lines, if you please, twenty Hail Marys and I'll see you in <strike>Church</strike> the beer-fridge on Sunday, all of you. Oh, and Helen, what you describe as: <blockquote>more pressure being put on young or impressionable women not to use condoms</blockquote> Is the very articulation of the scepticism I have about male contraceptives, whenever they emerge from science and the Murdoch press.

Is the very articulation of the scepticism I have about male contraceptives, whenever they emerge from science and the Murdoch press. I mean, would you trust him to remember his tablet before bedtime? Does he have a mature idea of consequences?

Uh, yeah, baby, I’m on the pill. No worries.
