A few weeks ago, I was carpooling with a group of people I do some volunteer work with. All nice people, all about 60, and all, coindicentally, single, one mentioned he'd found the link to this web page on an email I'd sent. His voice was all disgust and shock...the woman sitting next to him knew I'd written the Humble C and she too made it sound distasteful. Then the conversation between the two turned to the shocking use of the internet to share pornographic images.
I was tempted to tell them - perhaps lecture them? - on the fact that they were now the new at-risk generation, especially given their newly single status. I refrained, but it was proof that the same old prejudices are out there, even amongst the supposedly enlightened.
Ignorance is not always bliss.
