Bio
Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.” ― Michael Ellner ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government... The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Speaking in June, 1991 meeting in Baden, Germany"---------------------------- -"The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant." - UN Scientist Phil Jones to scientist John Christy July 5th 2005--------------------------------------

Thomas Paine on the Sexes

Rate: 10 Flag
Insofar as our creator endowed us with the desire for companionship between the sexes, it distresses me to witness the objections raised by both church and women congregations on the subject of our assembly, affinity and affections.

Wherein we hath been given the pleasures of each other's company, companionship and camaraderie, it would seem the natural order of things, as well as the divine intention of the creator that we get together, like all creatures big and small, for pleasure as well as procreation.

What being would endow us with inflamed loins and heaving breasts if not to enable the procreation, and ultimate survival of his fruits, mankind itself? Would a divine being tempt us with earthly pleasures, hath he not intended us to enjoy them?

Both prudence and providence suggest the wisdom of divine intention. If one hath reason and fortitude, it stands to reason he hath desire and determination to attain a little something something on the side.

Wherein the profundity of the profane reveals his true intentions, do we need the assembly of those who oppose a little padunkadunk, in the name of misplaced morality or misconception about our place in this worldly dominion? I think not.

Should we acquiesce to the wishes of women who want to possess other women or preachers who want to posses children, rather than follow our own nature, and nurture our natural desires? I think not.

Let us not fret upon ill begotten booty, when divine providence provides us with pleasure and companionship with no threat of purgatory or punishment. Nor question the extent of the jigginess with which we have begotten or been given.

Therefore, herein, whereas, words could scarcely speak plainer, people.

Represent.

everyone should see/read Tom Stoppard's great play TOM PAINE. r.
I have a CD at home by some band that's called "Ill Begotten Booty," so I didn't think of that phrase myself. I just always loved it.
Galt, you are a scourge! I like it! xox
I would never dream to "question the extent of the jigginess with which we have begotten or been given." Absolutely, never.

Romantic Poetess took my best lines! Thanks for the Paine! r
I'm glad you get the general gist of this. I was just trying to justify the generousity of jiginess. We should be greatful for gifts given gladly.
Not to mention that jigginess is the best thing you can do for your circulation and complexion at one time and... it's organic Go green, forgo working overtime for purchase of useless trinkets and gadgetatious behaviors, save the whales and get jiggy!

If we weren't supposed to do it, it wouldn't feel so much better than everything else.
Fascinating for many reasons. To my etymology-loving self, I'm fascinated to see "padunkadunk" was used in Paine's time. Today I've also seen it under the form badonkadunk, which poses some enormous questions regarding regional dialect development. Thank you for bringing this to light. R.
Just becuse he was old school doesn't mean he didn't appreciate a little something something or never enjoyed a little ill begotten booty.
"Thou doth protest too much?!" Or, not.
