How Free Are We?
"Total sexual license, observed both G.K. Chesterton and Aldous Huxley, is the only freedom the totalitarian state offers its masses, because it is a cheap and effective method of reducing them to slavery. Give us pleasure without consequence, and in time our consciences will dull sufficiently that we will not protest as the state takes our property, our wives, and our children. We will not even notice, in our endless flight form suffering and our perpetual pursuit of the right to feel good, that the hands gradually tightening the irons around our ankles are our own."

I guess Marx was wrong--religion isn't the opiate of the masses, licentiousness is.
