    Lawrence,

    Another two cents worth.......

    Of course, controlling sexual behavior is also another way of controlling
    people. Churches and states have had all kinds of rules concerning sexual
    behavior for ages. In feudal days, the Lord of the Manor had first dibs on
    the new bride. Consider the current fight over abortion and reproductive
    rights in the States.....
