I wanted to know what my students thought about all of these problems. One of the most important is, whether we're going to settle for ignorance instead of knowledge. Should I tell you how Shakespeare dramatized the attitude of a child toward the immorality of a parent? In, um, in "Hamlet," uh, act one, scene five, the ghost of Hamlet's father says to his son, in regard to his mother, "Taint not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother ought leave her to heaven." In today's world, controlled by a strange combination of dangerous passions and atomic forces that can obliterate entire cities in an instant, we *must* face the responsibility for our decisions. Augustin, all the greatest and noblest of human thinkers, whose work brings us closer to God. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Yes, the Bible brings up such questions. I'm going to reveal the source books of my questions. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Now I'm going to shock you good people even more than before. I plead guilty to asking questions about life, and living, which naturally involve sex. And if you object to my thinking, well then, that is the crime for which I should be held. If that happens you'll be forbidden to think creatively about anything, you'll be stupefied dull till you're incapable of thought, reason, or judgment.

Once the worm begins to gnaw on ethical values, the character of a good society changes. Steve 'Mac' Macinter: Now, some of you were shocked by my questions on sex but are you also shocked that a foreign sociologist has described Americans as knowing everything about sex and nothing about love?

I thought it important to know what neglected moral values - square concepts that some hipsters don't care to dig - were considered worth saving. ![]() Steve 'Mac' Macinter: I thought it important to know what our educated young people, the ones we refer to as our future leaders, thought about a world that's been at war since 1914. Before I joined this faculty I had begun work on another sociological study, one that I didn't think would be as dangerous to me. To do a study of this sort involving human beings, gaining their confidence is absolutely necessary. Some years ago I began a sociological study of skid row. Let me tell you the deep secret about my past. But that can't compare in importance with what you've just witnessed - the triumph of *stupidity* over reason.
