bazinj@vccnw05.its.rpi.edu (Jon SoAL Bazinet) elucidated the thesis:

>Hi all!

Hi Jon!

>dysfunctional

Jon, a friendly word of advice, OK?  "Dysfunctional family" is nothing
more than a trendy new pop-psychology way of saying "original sin."
There are people in this world who profit by convincing us "to be
human is to suck."  The 12-steppers, the Scientologists, the Shady
Divorce Lawyers Who Cater to Battered Women, the TV Evangelists, etc,
etc, are among them.  Take a little reality check and ask yourself
this innocuous question:  has there ever been a family that was not
"dysfunctional" (not counting 50s TV families on Nick at Nite) ???  

So what exactly is all this psychobabble good for?

>My point:
>SEX does not equal LOVE, happiness, intimacy, peace.

That's not exactly a revelation to anybody who's reached the age of
consent in this state.  Nonetheless, Sex is awfully good, even when
it's bad.  Especially when it's bad.  Don't get so hung up waiting for
the big rainbow you forget to deflower the smelly ones, Big Guy.
