Maury Povich, Culture Warrior

This is an interesting article about the mores of The Maury Show.

I was especially taken by this line:

They lead dissolute lives, shaped by social codes so senseless that a daytime TV host seems their most reasonable hope for decency.

It's a testament to what has happened to society at the margins.  This is a frequent theme in First Things: that the sexual morality in today's culture has little negative effects on the culture elite that champions these issues, but a devastating effect on others.  It's fascinating to me.  Because of what I do in RCIA, I'm always looking for something I can describe in five to ten minutes (I've considered collected all my little talks into a book and naming it "The Catholic Faith in Ten Minutes or Less) and I'm not sure this is one of them. Or at least I couldn't do it without sounding like a snob or bigot (those poor people are not as smart as us...).  But it's something I could explain in, maybe fifteen, so it's alluring as a "stretch goal" as we say at work.
