...York City, but rarely has a mayor of New York ever amounted to anything outside the five boroughs. Giuliani has alienated approximately 99.9% of the black vote (and the old pols' sneer "blacks don't vote" may not apply anymore). People upstate may admire the man who cleaned up Sodom and Gomorrah, but he will not wear well, I'd guess. With his combed-over death's-head countenance, his bullying instincts and his bizarre lack of self-awareness (he seems to entertain an idea he might be President), Giuliani makes a perfect heavy.

Their effect on the young is pernicious, folks: film violence will put a gun in a kid's hand; film sex will grow hair on his palm.

...perfection. We all have obstacles in our lives to overcome, obstacles that cause us to sin. Those with homosexual desires face a very powerful obstacle indeed, but no less than any other sinners, they are called to overcome it. This camp of thought says that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by the Lord in Genesis 19 is caused by the towns' inhabitants being inhospitable rather than the men of Sodom asking to have sex with angels who appeared as men. This is an utterly baseless claim...
