Max Mosley Wins Privacy Suit
Mr Justice Eady ruled that there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to sexual activities, even if they were unconventional, if they were between consenting adults on private property.
Tell me someone. How can it be that a person's private sexuality is protected by privacy laws whereas INNOCENT men who have been falsely accused of sexual things can have their names and the allegations against them publicised all over the place?

Don't listen to the liberals - Right-wingers really are nicer people, latest research shows
There is plenty of data that shows that Right-wingers are happier, more generous to charities, less likely to commit suicide - and even hug their children more than those on the Left. In my experience, they are also more honest, friendly and well-adjusted.
Story here
Much of this springs from the destructive influence of modern liberal ideas.
Starting with British anthropologist Edmund Leach, who said: 'Far from being the basis of a good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all its discontents', feminists, progressives and others have seen the family as an oppressive force.
It's been my experience that conservatives like to talk about things outside of themselves while progressives like to discuss themselves: how they are feeling and what their desires are. That might make for a good therapy session but it's not much fun over a long dinner.
Studies also indicate that those on the Left are less likely to give to charity or to volunteer their time to charity. When they do support charity, it is often less the sort of organisation that helps people and more one that advocates political action.
