Without this goal, Rev. Gomes is telling us, there can never be and will never be on this earth anything approaching a viable humanism among the myriad contending groups who inhabit this earth--ethnic and racial groups, religious groups, linguistic groups, nationality groups, gender groups, etc. There is no notion of a viable humanism shaping the interrelations in today's world between contending groups like Azerbaijanis and Armenians, Jews and Palestinians, Tutsi and Hutu, Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants (in Northern Ireland), Turks and Kurds, etc., without the reign of Rev.

Perhaps it isn't the act of hollow sex which itself is so base. Perhaps it is the notion of it, even at Harvard, as an act that calls forth pride enough to don a pin and strut like a peacock. The celebratory reception of sexual conquest in the drinking culture is quite barbaric. Can men's sexual indulgence represent anything more than a pillage of females given their propensity to speak of in it terms of booty? Obviously, sex has no meaning to them beside its pleasurable...
