Just another possibility to consider besides the two black-and-white alternatives you suggest: I have no difficulty imagining myself having a "high" experience in a strip club. I don't consider them "unholy," I don't think of the polarities involved as right or wrong in the traditional moral sense. I have no doubt whatsoever that such environments have the potential to generate a great deal of positive, even deeply spiritual, energy. I've never visited a strip club, but I've been in other "low" situations and had "high" experiences (just as I've been in "high" situations and had "low" experiences). The thing is, none of this intersects at any point with my objection to strip clubs. One doesn't influence the other, either way. ------------------------ Yahoo!
