    WND: Selling sex and corruption to your kids

     At 31 years of age, growing up in central New Hampshire, maybe I missed the wave on this one. Maybe not. I think the thing tha protected me from trying to be "like the cool kids" or to "fit in" was, ironically, my interest in reading. I was a big fan of high fantasy (the Belgariad & Mallorean, the Icewind Dale trilogy, the Riftwar Saga, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, etc), and in this same space was Sci-fi. And through Sci-fi, I read Heinlen's "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Friday". And more importantly to my developing psyche, I read the "Illuminatus Trilogy" by Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea. And so I began to think outside the box. To see the forces working in culture and the minds of men. And this seperated me from people, I think. I was using a different paradigm. I never tried to "be cool".
