You have the typical "holyer than thou" attitude. No one forced that
female
to do that. SHE IS A WILLING
MODEL and gets paid for it. Now why or how they chose astronomy and a
MeadeLX to show off I don't
know, but I woud think the Meade corporation should have something to say
about it. I highly suggest someone
send that link to the Meade corporation and show them what some are doing
with their products.


Sexuality has no place in astronomy if it is to be a wholesome family
activity. If we go down that path it will become nothing more than another
filthy modern pastime like much of TV and bird watching has become in the
eastern part of the country. I recently read an article about how these
parties are being used as a cover for a very unsavory activity.

You are insane! Or just a purposeful troll with nothing better to do than
rasie eyebrows..

Boy, you are so right!! I read the same article....it is outrageous!!
It's hard to believe, but it was in print, so it must be correct.

Who would ever have thought that such innocent creatures as BIRDS would
indulge in such actives involving crude sexuality!! And then--to hear
that people are gathering to observe them!! I wonder if the birds are
getting paid for their involvement?? I have to believe that something
or someone corrupted them---probably a result of attending too many star
parties.

I respect you for keeping you wife and children from looking at
birds---you're bearing up well under such a responsibility. I'm sure
you've not allowed your wife and children to look upward and risking
seeing those wanton birds. Just a word or caution---looking downward
has some terrible implications.......are you aware of the things ants
are doing!?!


Howell by name, Howell by nature........well It gave me a good laugh )

Gee Clay (Shawn),

If sexuality had no place in the family... there would BE NO family. Duh.

Gosh Clay, I'm surprised you can get out of the house without worrying about
how somebody else might be doing as they damned well please.
