Doesn’t it go “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” Not that I agree with it. But through the fence? What is that? Did you know Benjamin Franklin had like 15 illegitimate children and said concerning women “all cats look gray in the dark.” I don’t think we would have gotten along had we sat down for tea.

The saying has always been used from mother to daughter to teach girls that sex is what drives men down the isle for marriage. why would a man marry you, if you were giving him everything he wanted outside of marriage. He mixed up the meaning of the words, and the words themselves to come up with THAT atrocity. lol I about died laughing..

((P.S. I only knew about Benjamin Franklin’s dark side because of an episode of “The Office”))

Benjamin Franklin didn’t really have a dark side. It is an evil lie taught by the left to discredit him, and therefore what he did. The left lies about our founding fathers to discredit our constitutional republic and capitalism. Making them into demons reinforces their teachings that Americans and America are evil. Polio blankets and slavery and evil Puritans and such.

Read the actual Benjamin Franklin quote. “And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.”

This quote was taken from a letter in which Benjamin Franklin attempts to teach a young man that his natural urges towards having sex with multiple young anonymous partners is a sin, and that marriage is the natural remedy of the sex urges. He teaches that marriage is good, and sex outside of it is evil. And he doesn’t just leave it at that, he makes a wonderful case for marriage.

Actually I read a post about his 13 virtues a few days ago. I will find them and post them separately. Also the idea that he had 15 illegitimate children is another lie perpetuated by the left. But I will get into that later.

OH yeah, here is the link to the actual letter that Benjamin Franklin wrote.

Did the others in the class nod in agreement and act like they had just heard the profound secret of the universe? Then they all either were: trying to make sense of it, are totally clueless, stoned (is that still a word?), or really really really need an A. I had an English teacher that always took things to the extreme. We read the White Heron which is a story of a young girl who realizes what is and what is not important in life. His take on the story was the tree she climbed up to the top of was a symbol of a sexual act and how she lost her virginity (symbolically). I was one of the ones that smiled and nodded. I just wanted my A and to get out of his class.
