I've never had that experience, syme -- but it is exactly what I'm referring to. It is directly opposed to everything God created men to be, isn't it? -- strong, clear-headed, fair-minded, bravely faithful to their vows, focused not on chasing what they superficially want but what others truly need. But that is a rant for a different thread. A friend of mine remarked that our country (and I guess, the entire world) needs a men's liberation movement! But I'm going off topic. Back to the topic: I do remember reading one of Michael Medved's articles where he notes that there are many top movies that either don't have sex scenes or keep them to a minimum. So clean movies do sell. For some reason Hollywood hasn't noticed. I also remember hearing that even from the purely market-oriented point of view, family movies sell because children need adult companions to watch movies, so that means that for every child who watches a movie, two tickets are being sold: one for the child, another for the adult companion. Furthermore, younger audiences tend to watch movies more than once.

I'm reaching the point where I want to write things that are safe and fun for the whole family. It's such an enjoyable experience having the same pool of quotes and images to exchange among your family members; a true bonding experience. So that's where I'm at right now.

Occasionally I have the same impulse. I churn out a sentence and wonder, not "Would my parents mind that I wrote this?" -- they'd probably be surprised, not at a vulgarity itself, say, but at its coming from me -- , but "Would I want my hypothetical daughters reading this?" If the answer is "Not for another 60 years or so," I know I'm in iffy territory.
