The Human Race; Satin Sheet Villains
Have you ever wondered why you had that feeling of guilt after your first sexual encounter with your girl friend, boy friend, fiancée? I’m speaking to those few out there who spend a little time attempting to understand a potential partner, before jumping into bed with them. Not you whom feel your entire video collection should be categorized: blond, brunet, red-head, and you feel your sex life makes you an equal opportunity lover. All though, you can read and consider! Anyhow, Where do you suppose that guilty feeling sprang from? You took you time with this person, you feel as though you know them, and you wish to step up the relationship. Yet, you took that step, and some how there is a small, yet distinctive, uncertainty hanging about. It’s not a violation of your duty to God. Nor, is it a violation of some oath-pact with your family. Your sexual encounter is not undignified. Yet, that is what you grew up being told. You grew up being pushed from two different directions. Your nature vs. your conscience. Have you chosen sides yet? Or, are you like me, whom seems to think the fight is instigated?

F.W. De Klerk: Perfect 20th Century Villain/Hero
F.W. de Klerk, leader of South Africa who worked with Nelson Mandela to end apartheid rule and begin democratic majority rule, is a mixture of good and bad; imperfect motives leading to a few good decisions; bravery and cowardice. In no way can he be unequivocally described as a "hero," but neither can he be demonized as a "villain." In this respect, he would make a perfect character in a 20th century novel.
