Now, if groups like Moral Majority have their way, there won't be any sex education at school, and our kids will be the dumbest in the world when it comes to sex....

This last quote says it all about how messed up our country is with body/nudity/sexuality issues in relation to religion and "American" values.  As Marlene Dietrich said:
