and length of time with eachpartner.--- At the age of 18, Americans areallowed to vote and buy cigarettes
(a drug); this age should also beallowed to buy and consume alcoholas well.

From the time I was sixteen I ceased to say my prayers andceased to go to church or to fast of my own volition. I did notbelieve what had been taught me in childhood but I believed insomething. What it was I believed in I could not at all have said.I believed in a God, or rather I did not deny God - but I couldnot have said what sort of God. Neither did I deny Christ and histeaching, but what his teaching consisted in I again could not
have said.
Looking back on that time, I now see clearly that my faith - myonly real faith - that which apart from my animal instincts gaveimpulse to my life - was a belief in perfecting myself. But inwhat this perfecting consisted and what its object was, I couldnot have said.

Currently, the American way is the Hypocriticalway. We view sex and violence and political
bashing and religious wars on TV, but the minutethose subjects are in print, particularly sex, Bam!,letters to the editor come pouring in. We can’thandle those topics in our paper, but we’ll surelygo shop at Abercrombie where naked peopleare used for advertisements or purchase
magazines where half the ads use sex to sell ussomething. Like one of the latest ads on MTVdemonstrates, we’ll let our kids watch ahead get blown off on TV, but the minutesomeone fondles someone on TV, the wool
comes over the eyes. We’ll fight openly aboutpolitics in our kitchens with 8-year-oldsnearby, but we have parents that won’t telltheir sons that it’s a “penis” and not a“pee-pee.”
