Sex, schoolers and a squalid bus system
The Editor, Sir:

We seem well and truly on the way to societal breakdown when, we, in addition to our other problems, factor the inappropriate and widespread expression of sex among young schoolers. These people should be taught to sublimate the sex drive, for the time being, in favour of working hard to achieve skills to make a living.

Sex is the easiest and most natural thing to do in the world. As a thought experiment, it would come as no surprise to find that two infants, who by some misadventure were marooned in the bush, and who never saw another human being, when rescued years later, already had children.

Sexual desire

Education and the acquisition of life skills take concentrated effort over an extended period of many years or even decades, in some specialist occupations. Sex, in contrast, is very near to the surface of awareness of every healthy, mentally normal human being. Just the sight alone of a woman's fatty tissues (breasts, buttocks, hips), not to mention other parts, can send men into a frenzy of sexual desire. We associate these things, subliminally, with the birth process which gave rise to all of us and many females make their living merely by the erotic revelation of these parts, in the occupation known as 'stripping'.

Sex and violence, murder of those less powerful, enslavement of other people and appropriation of their property are normal human instincts coming from the oldest part of the brain - the Reptillian complex. These behaviours are known (to religionists) as sins, to others, as crimes, and discipline must be applied in humans from when they are young and controllable, to modify these tendencies, otherwise when they are grown and strong, the country shall reap the whirlwind.

It is all well and good for Transport Minister Mike Henry to focus on slavery reparations and, if successful, big Mike will be one of the most famous people in the world, but he (and Education Minister Andrew Holness) should clean up the tinted-window, porno-friendly, squalid minibus system.

I am, etc.,

PATRICK BLAKE
