People are still afraid to say "go for it"
M. LeBlanc linked kind of baffling but thoroughly interesting screed that Roger Ebert wrote about youthful sexuality.* The point he's stabbing at seems a little obscure---he's annoyed at hypocrisy, thinks sex is great for young people to get into, wishes that he hadn't grown up with prudish prejudices, and wants kids to know making out isn't just a means to an end, but it's all sort of a muddle of points---but the story he tells in it is amazing.

What's interesting to me is that Ben Stein did not actually want Roger Ebert to review "Expelled". He wanted Ebert not to review "Expelled", so that he could complain that Ebert is shunning the film, and continue to play the victim of a conspiracy to shut out the movie from being viewed. Ebert was only selected because he's famous enough that the ignorami that make up the Christian right would understand the situation.
