EDITORIAL BY THE HON. RUFUS PECKHAM - For many years, a sneaking depravity has crept across Europe, cloaking itself in all manner of degeneracy and vice. The tawdry depths to which the continent has fallen is most painfully evident in one area: its sexual mores. The basest of human desires are exalted as high culture, the apotheosis of freedom. People who seek to rein in the cravings of the flesh are dismissed as unenlightened dunces, slaves to a patriarchal world whose time has come and gone.
Europe's vileness was splashed across our newspapers today in stories about the “Naked Truth” exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna. The Museum has invited the public to come in the nude to view an exhibition of – you guessed it – erotic works by Austrian “masters.” The Museum allows the “more bashful” to wear bathing suits, like this “cheeky” fellow who is pretending to view the "art." In fact what he is really doing is luxiarating in the vileness of his exhibitionism.
So what are we to think of this continent that gave us Beethoven, Shakespeare and Churchill? Let us be brutally honest about this: Europe is no good, and we can only pray that the Europeans don’t drag us down with them.
