Need for 'Mea Culpa' Clause in Modern American Last Will and Testaments

I would like to respectfully suggest that Americans writing their own last will and testament in the 21st Century should at least consider possibly adding a "Mea Culpa" clause to that legal document on their own behalf.

In that brief section of their last will and testament, conscientious Americans of the modern era ---myself among them --- might choose at some future date to freely and strictly on their own volition cite one person from their life whom those Americans each believe they wronged at some point during their lifetime.

As an alternative, many Americans might choose to add a polite "Mea Culpa" chapter or appendix to the memoirs that they write and have published during their retirement years.

That posthumous expression of empathy and appreciation toward the cited individual, could be very helpful to him or his younger friends or younger relatives, and could boost his or their morale and self-confidence.

In most cases, conscientious Americans who at some future date decide to add a "Mea Culpa" clause to their last will and testament may choose to simply offer a polite posthumous written acknowledgement to a cited recipient of that belated apology---with no financial amount and no property from the estate of the deceased being bequeathed to that individual.

The "Mea Culpa" clause in modern wills and testaments from Americans might possibly be worded as follows:

"I feel that I significantly wronged that individual during my lifetime. While I never chose to become a personal friend or associate of his at any time during my lifetime, which would have given me the opportunity to generously befriend him in either context, I have concluded with hindsight that he is very benevolent and honorable, and worthy of being befriended by me through this written apology from myself in this last will and testament."

Among the many types of possible questions that many Americans might ask themselves as they attempt to identify which individual from their own life, if any, they might freely choose to provide a "Mea Culpa" clause written apology to in their own last will and testament, are:

---Did I repeatedly and over a multi-year or multi-decade period refuse to fully honor a verbalized rejection of myself by another human being?

---Did I repeatedly verbalize threats to another human being by stating that his own very permanent and irrevocable rejection of myself would result in his suffering an "unfavorable afterlife in which you may end up in Hell because of this unresolved conflict with myself".

---Did I pursue any actions aimed at punishing or restricting another adult human being for having values and beliefs and interests and affinities and priorities that were comprehensively very different from, and very incompatible with, my own values and beliefs and interests and affinities and priorities.

----Did I pursue any actions that were unfairly vindictive or excessively punitive in nature toward someone who had significantly offended me?

---Did I repeatedly state to a lifelong non-Christian gentleman that his choice to be a non-Christian gentleman on a lifelong basis meant that he would be "going to Hell" after he dies.

---Did I exhibit a very possessive or proprietary style toward an individual whom I myself never praised in any noteworthy manner on any occasion, and whom I had, in fact, repeatedly insulted and offended on a frequent basis.

---Did I repeatedly attempt to pressure someone who was, in fact, physically and personally repulsed by myself, to give into my demand that that individual be in a "sexual relationship" or "romantic relationship" with myself?

---Did I attempt to control and restrict someone who was, in fact, a consistently civil and law-abiding individual?

---Did I repeatedly trigger massive weight gain and increased anxiety and artificially elevated blood pressure in that individual by repeatedly and incessantly subjecting him to erroneous warnings to the effect that he was somehow "required" or "forced" to have an involvement of ANY type with ANY of the cited persons whom he had already permanently rejected on an individual basis from his own life.

---Did I decline to cite to that individual the specific name of a private attorney whom I knew to be reputable and first-rate, and who through litigation on that individual's own behalf might have been able to significantly help that individual to improve his own quality of life and living conditions and privacy rights?

---Did I myself knowingly withhold from that individual pertinent and useful factual information I was privy to that could have helped him significantly?

----Did I emphatically advise a cited "friend" of mine that I strongly believe he should discontinue his individual health insurance policy and go without any health insurance as a way of "saving money" during that time period, in my stated opinion.

---Did I ever emphatically state to another human being that I was completely sure that he definitely was NOT being stalked by any other person, even though I myself had no factual basis for making any such statement to the individual in question.

---Did I ever state on the telephone to that individual during a long-distance phone call he made to me from Sweetwater, Texas, in 1990, that "The circumstances to which you are being subjected in Sweetwater, Texas, these days are outrageous in their unfairness toward yourself!", without myself ever on any occasion citing to that individual the name of any specific person I was myself critical of in that cited context, with the exception of ONE total male adult person I cited during that early-1990s time period, and whom the former individual had reportedly encountered in the northeastern United States in a prior decade.

---Did I myself volunteer to a cited "friend" of mine in 1990 during a long-distance phone call he made from his residence in Sweetwater, Texas, to my home in a northern U.S. state that "The circumstances you are experiencing in Texas these days are pervasively dishonest toward yourself," without myself ever citing the source of that dishonesty or which legal actions he needed to pursue to promptly terminate those dishonest communications being inflicted on himself by others.

---Did I ever claim to another human being that I was a "true and lasting personal friend" of that individual during a period in which I was actually accepting payments of money from a third party to myself pose as a "true and lasting personal friend" for the individual in question.

---Did I ever fail to acknowledge the legal right of any single adult individual to live alone and to lead a celibate lifestyle, such as if he had indicated to me that he was not aware of any mutual-consent scenarios in which he would be living with another person or any mutual-consent scenario or mutual-consent scenarios in he would be dating anyone.

---Did I artificially trigger intellectual atrophy and significantly undermine the intellectual acumen of someone because of actions that I pursued that had a bearing on his own living conditions.

---Did I ever volunteer to that individual on the telephone that "the manipulative circumstances in your life in Sweetwater, Texas, these days are primarily designed for your own intellectual development," without myself ever once citing by name to that individual the source of those "educational services," information that would have given him an opportunity to himself file an immediate legal complaint in a court of law (or through the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin) that permanently and immediately terminated any further involvement in his own life by that sadistically secretive, fraudulent, and very unwanted "educational services" provider.

---Did I emphatically state to that individual in 1993 or 1994, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from his own city of residence of Pampa, Texas, in the Texas Panhandle: "For you to even consider moving from Texas to another U.S. state could be considered by many observers as an indication that you yourself may be mentally ill. It's a sign of mental illness for a Texas resident strictly on his own initiative to even consider moving to another U.S. state."

---Did I state to that individual that I blamed him for describing to me stressful and injurious circumstances in his own life that he had in fact endured and suffered from, with myself emphasizing that those accurate reports from himself had inflicted emotional duress and related medical illnesses on myself, and had thereby victimized myself in a significant manner.

---Did I repeatedly and very abruptly in the middle of the conversation hang up my end of the phone line during long-distance telephone conversations I had with an individual who complained about alleged violations of his own privacy rights in Texas, even though he himself never at any time accused me myself of being an alleged source of ANY of those violations of his own privacy rights in Texas.

---Was I myself aware of any "Sugar Daddy" figure whom I myself suspected of allegedly attempting to coerce an adult younger person into having a "sexual" relationship with that ruthless and sadistic and law-breaking Sugar Daddy, without myself ever volunteering to the victim of the cited intergenerational exploitation of himself that I would be willing to myself serve as a witness on his behalf in regard to any criminal-law charge he might choose to file against the infamous Sugar Daddy figure in question through the Austin Police Department or the Travis County Sheriff's Office or the Travis County District Attorney's Office or the Travis County County Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas.

---Did I myself knowingly and deliberately subject that individual against his wishes to a "thought-control" project or a "brainwashing" project or to "an educational services project" or to a "psychological services project" that he definitely did not want, and that he repeatedly protested and filed law-abiding and civilly-worded complaints against with legal authorities.

---Did I ever advise the individual in question on the telephone that "I don't know of ANY private attorney anywhere in Austin, Texas, who would be willing to help you formally establish the anti-alcohol and non-Christian religion you've founded.

---Did I repeatedly state or indicate to any individual that his legal and Constitutional rights were somehow negated or nullified or restricted because he guided himself in his own life partly based on prejudices of his that included his own civilly-stated and lawfully expressed bias or prejudice against male adult effeminacy and his own civilly-stated and lawfully-expressed bias or prejudice against facial hair on adult men.

---Did I myself ever volunteer to an acquaintance of mine on the telephone, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from a pay telephone in west Texas that his own cited greater affinity for a higher percentage of all heterosexual adult men, as compared with the other cited subpopulations of adult male persons, had triggered what many people regarded as "persecution" of himself on the part of many Americans; and did I subsequently NEVER at any time provide the individual I'd spoken with in that phone conversation with the name of ANY alleged or possible "persecutor" of himself.

The entire United States these days has been compared by many people to Nazi Germany, and that also applies to anyplace in the United States where you might choose to yourself reside."

---Did I myself repeatedly advise that individual during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin from Pampa, Texas, in 1993 that he should not write and send any letters of complaint about his own living conditions to any official of the U.S. Government in Washington, D.C., "since it would only result in the CIA or FBI labeling you as a 'nut', and you might then be detained and interrogated by the CIA or FBI."

---Did I ever trigger considerable emotional duress in an acquaintance of mine by angrily and in an accusatory voice asking him on the telephone in 1994, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily newspaper workplace in Snyder, Texas: "I find it galling in the extreme that you somehow gave legal authority to a person who disliked you intensely even during your childhood!", without myself ever at any time volunteering the name of that cited individual.

---Did I as a Harvard University alumnus ever significantly demoralize a 27-year-old gentleman a and newcomer to Massachusetts by stating to him in person with angry exasperation during my first-ever meeting with him inside my mother's home in Auburn, Massachusetts: "I'm dismayed by how little you have accomplished in your own life!

---Did I ever significantly demoralize an aspiring single male adult writer in Worcester, Massachusetts, by stating to that acquaintance of mine in 1984 that "I think you're the type of writer who is more noteworthy for being WRITTEN ABOUT, than for any writing of your own that you will ever accomplish.

You claim to have suffered from particularly stressful circumstances involving alleged verbal harassment of yourself that allegedly triggered massive weight gains in you here in Texas. However, it's a simple fact of life that most people gain lots of weight as they get older. It's unlikely you will ever be able to lose the weight you have gained in Texas during this period, since most people find it very difficult to lose weight as they get older."

----Did I as City Manager of Austin in the late 1990s habitually glare with sharp antipathy or hatred toward a scheduled "Citizen Participation" male adult speaker waiting to speak in person at an Austin City Council meeting, even though he himself had never made any unkind comment to me at any time, and he himself had never glared at me or looked at me with sharp antipathy or hatred at any time.

---Did I ever attempt to artificially inflict severe financial deprivation on a law-abiding and talented and intelligent single adult person during a multi-month or multi-year time period in which I repeatedly advised him, or I repeatedly sponsored advice to him from others, that "your own poverty means you cannot support yourself on your own, so you must agree to the demands of an affluent older person that you reside with that older person as his or her 'live-in servant'."

---Did I ever at any time state to ANY adult person that "because you yourself are very incompatible with the gay-rights movement and the gay subculture, and you are also very incompatible with the bisexual male adult subculture, the effeminate-male-adult subculture, the lesbian subculture, and the transsexual subculture, this means that you therefore have no right to live on this planet. Your incompatibility with those four subcultures means that you have forfeited the legal right to continue dwelling on this planet, since you are yourself at the mercy of each of those cited subcultures that you are significantly incompatible with."

---Did I as a pediatric medical physician in Maryland state to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my private residence in Maryland in 1991 or 1990 from his private apartment unit in Sweetwater, Texas: "All the published medical journal articles I've read about your case clearly indicate that you are mentally ill.

---Did I ever respond to a 1992 long-distance phone call to my magazine office in Austin, Texas, from a newspaper journalist in Zapata, Texas, who indicated that he needed additional factual information about baffling and injurious aspects of his own "living conditions" during that period in 1992, by myself observing to the male adult caller: "Ignorance can be a blessing," without my ever elaborating on that at any time.

---Did I ever state in 1994 to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily-newspaper workplace in Snyder, Texas: "Every time that you yourself criticize a cited person through your internal thought process or through your private journal entries and comments you verbalize to yourself or anyone else, what you are doing is comparable to giving money away to each of the persons you are yourself having critical thoughts about.

---Did I myself ever in 1993 or late 1992 volunteer to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made at his own financial expense to my home in Austin, Texas, from his daily newspaper office workplace in Pampa, Texas: "You have a golden opportunity in Pampa, Texas, to yourself PRETEND that you are a prosecuting attorney in the Panhandle region of our state.

---Did I myself cite only six noteworthy scenarios in talking with an acquaintance of mine about his own expected future, with those scenarios being that he might be expected to himself gain a significant amount of weight, "which I myself attribute to the normal aging process that occurs in most people as they grow older," as I might have put it; that he himself might somehow contract AIDS at some future date should he ever have sex at any future date, this being a scenario cited to that individual in the complete absence of his having stated ANYTHING to me about sex or sexual identity during that in-person conversation I had with him in Austin, Texas, in 1992, with exact unsolicited words to that individual having been, "If you get AIDS someday, don't blame me"; that "I now believe that NOT ALL of your men friends have to be homosexual, since I now sense that some of your men friends can be heterosexual," as I may have put it in 1994 to that male adult acquaintance of mine toward the end of his multi-year period of residence in Pampa, Texas; that he himself might be detained and interrogated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the CIA of the U.S. Government at some future date after he was identified by the federal government as the writer of alarmingly strange or odd letters to a federal official; that he would be expected to himself continue to experience severe financial hardship in his own personal finances, with the emphasis in that comment of mine being that I myself would not be able or willing to help him pay any his bills in that expected future scenario; or that I would expect him to possibly choose at some future date to himself move to the San Francisco Bay Area of northern California, "since I myself regard that metro area as being an ideal environment for you," or words to that effect, as I might have put it.

---Did I as an Austin-based private attorney member of the State Bar of Texas state agency of the State Government of Texas ever volunteer on my own initiative in 1997 inside my law office in downtown Austin to a single adult male client of mine, that the persons allegedly harassing him in Austin, Texas, were allegedly "relatives" (exact or near-exact quote) of his, without ANY names of any such person being cited by me when I offered that in-person oral evaluation inside my law firm office as to the alleged source of the harassment of my legal-services client of mine during that time period in Austin, Texas-----this without my ever clearly specifying exactly what I meant by the term 'relatives' in that particular context-----only to myself later retract as 'incorrect' the previous stress-inducing oral statement of mine through a subsequent follow-up signed official legal letter to that client of mine who himself paid me more than $1,000 in legal-consultation and legal-services fees during that multi-month period of the late 1990s.

You would have to leave the Austin area in order to achieve that goal for yourself."

---Did I as a self-described Jewish man with a cited PhD in Economics from the University of North Carolina cheerfully volunteer to an acquaintance of mine over lunch inside a Pizzeria Uno restaurant in central Boston, Massachusetts, that "I myself frequently practice anonymous sex with other men who are complete strangers to me inside the men's restrooms of the Boston area, and I find it to be a very enjoyable part of my own lifestyle."

---Did I as a resident of the Washington, D.C., area myself claim to be a "personal friend" or "friendly acquaintance" of another adult person during a time period of his own life in which I stated to him in 1989 (during a time period in which he resided in Big Spring, Texas, and complained to me on the telephone about manipulative circumstances involving violations of his own privacy rights and harassment of himself in west Texas) that "I myself approve of this project you're in."

---Did I myself one day in the 21st Century respond to life-threatening circumstances for another male adult individual involving pervasive violations of his own privacy rights to which that male adult relative of mine was being subjected against his wishes, by myself volunteering to that individual on the telephone from my western U.S. state, "You are not as straight as your father was."

However, I am not able to ascertain who the source of that outside interference is. In any case, if at some future date that individual attempts to force you to have an involvement with that person, you always have the option of rejecting that person."

----Did I myself ever advise a cited friend or cited friendly acquaintance of mine who was himself law-abiding that he should move to a city of the world where sexual prostitution involving the payment of money to sexual prostitutes is legal, with myself possibly citing either a county in Nevada where prostitution is legal, or Amsterdam in The Netherlands, as being a place to which I recommended that he move or relocate.

It's obvious that you are too homophobic and too anti-gay for the Ethical Culture Society and all of our group's membership here in Austin."

---Did I myself ever trigger considerable emotional duress and suffering and accompanying massive weight gain on an individual that was based on my having emphatically stated to him on the telephone from my home in Austin, Texas (this during a long-distance phone call he made to my home from his rental apartment in Pampa, Texas) that I myself did not acknowledge or agree with his own very emphatically asserted legal right to himself permanently EXCLUDE from his own life a cited male adult person to whom he had already mailed at least one lawfully-worded rejection letter through the U.S. Postal Service.

--Did I as a male adult waitperson for Souper Salad Lakeline restaurant in Austin, Texas, ever state to a male adult coworker of mine in 2007 or so that I myself would like to become a lifelong personal friend of himself, with myself then adding, when asked by that coworker of mine if I also want him to enjoy full natural longevity and a full creative lifespan in his own life, that "I (the server who on his own volition volunteered to be a lifelong friend of a coworker of his inside that chain restaurant workplace) wouldn't go that far with it."

---Did I as a female reporter for "The Dallas Morning News" in the spring of 1990 emphatically state on the telephone from my newspaper's main newsroom office to a mutual-consent personal friend of mine residing in Big Spring, Texas: "I can assure you, categorically, that you yourself have NO CHANCE of your ever landing a job with 'The New York Times' daily newspaper at any time in the entire future of your life."

Clear enough?"

---Did I as a male adult junior-high school instructor at O. Henry Junior High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, emphatically and loudly declare to a 13-year-old or 14-year-old male student of mine during homeroom period for himself in 1970 or 1971: "If you get any fatter, they (sic) will have to take you out and butcher you!"

So it is best not to openly and honestly state your own complaints about your circumstances, as the statements you make during this period of your life can be used against you by others even after the voices end."

----Did I ever mislead an acquaintance of mine in 1990 or 1991, during a long-distance phone call he made from his apartment in Pampa, Texas, to my home in Austin, Texas, by myself volunteering he should expect a very pleasant future scenario for himself in which he visits a football stadium and "everyone you see in that entire football stadium is a personal friend of yours," as I confidently predicted, a statement of mine that occurred during the same approximate period in which I emphasized during a long-distance phone conversation with that acquaintance of mine residing in Pampa, Texas, at the time, that "you will feel a lot better when this is all over," without my ever specifying what I meant by the term "this."

San Francisco is where your father and mother got married inside a Swedenborgian church in that northern Californian city. So San Francisco, for our family, has always been synonymous with the theme of romantic love. So perhaps these voices you're hearing in Pampa, Texas, are merely indicating that they hope you have a successful romantic life."

---Did I myself emphatically advise an acquaintance of mine in 1994, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Austin, Texas, from a pay telephone in Kermit, Texas, where he resided at that time, "You have no need to spend any money in order to place ANY personals ads in any newspaper or magazine in your quest for a mutual-consent romantic relationship.

---Did I emphatically advise an acquaintance of mine in 1990 or 1991, during a long-distance phone call he made from his rental apartment in Sweetwater, Texas, to my private home in Maryland, that "I would urge you to NEVER visit Mexico or any other foreign nation during this period. If you visit a foreign country during this period, the authorities there are likely to apprehend you and put you in a mental institution where you might get stuck for a long time. You are much safer in the United States, from that standpoint, since you have more legal protection against that type of very grim scenario here in the United States."

---Did I emphatically state to an acquaintance of mine during a long-distance phone call he made in 1994 to my home in Austin, Texas, from his apartment unit in Kermit, Texas: "I don't know of ANY attorney anywhere in Austin, Texas, who would be willing to help you in this matter," with myself beginning to cry from my end of the phone line as I offered that very bleak and tragic assessment to that individual whom I had been acquainted with during my childhood in the Austin area.

---Did I emphatically state to an acquaintance of mine in 1991, during a period in which he resided in Cuero, Texas, and made a long-distance phone call to my home in Austin, Texas: "You misunderstood me before when you thought I had indicated to you that if you consult a private attorney in Texas, the actions he pursues on your behalf won't be what you had directly requested of him. What I instead meant to suggest is that whenever you consult a private attorney here in Texas, the consequences or repercussions for yourself from the legal actions he pursues on your behalf based on your directly stated goals and wishes that you verbalize to an attorney, will be consequences and repercussions for you that are VERY DIFFERENT from what you had anticipated."

---Did I as story-assignments editor for "Texas Monthly" state on the telephone to a single male adult aspiring journalist in Austin, Texas, that "it was outside interference (exact quote) that prevented us at 'Texas Monthly" from using ANY of the dozens of story ideas you recently wrote up and mailed to us," without myself ever once stating to that male adult acquaintance of mine WHO or WHAT The source of the cited "outside interference" was.

--Did I as a University of Minnesota Math Department full-time clerical employee and fiction writer residing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, repeatedly and emphatically volunteer on the telephone in 1984 and 1985 to an acquaintance of mine who made long-distance phone calls in 1984 and 1985 to my private residence in Minneapolis from his own cities of residence of Worcester and Boston, respectively, in Massachusetts: "The people of Worcester, Massachusetts, come across as being very strange, with lots of insanity on their part; you should return to Minnesota, where the people are more normal and there's less insanity per-capita in this state"; and, later, "the people of the Boston area are mean-spirited (exact quote) toward you; you should return to Minnesota, where the people are mellow and not mean-spirited toward you."

---Did I as a female student at Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, in 1973 or 1974 write and read aloud at a debate-club party an ostensibly "humorous" fictional or semi-fictional account in which I predicted that a cited male member of my high school debate club would himself someday as an adult American be living in severe financial poverty and forced to rely on food stamps in order to obtain any food for himself and his household, with the cited "context" for my "humorous piece" being that the nationwide high school debate resolution that school year was in favor of the federal government providing a guaranteed minimal annual personal income for all Americans.

---Did I during my high school years as a male student at Stephen F. Austin High School of Austin Independent School District write and then read aloud in April 1974, inside the Marimont Cafeteria along Barton Springs Boulevard near downtown Austin, a poem "birthday tribute" to a cited male schoolmate and debate squad colleague of mine in which I myself emphasized in the text of my poem: "Many have speculated about his expected demise. But that is risky grounds on which to theorize, since something that never existed CANNOT DIE."

---Did I repeatedly and emphatically state to an acquaintance of mine inside my home in Westlake Hills, Texas, that I did not acknowledge his asserted legal right to himself have a new and fully independent religion of his own that was not affiliated with any other religious group or religious denomination, and that "I will always regard you as being a Unitarian, regardless of what you yourself say."

----Did I as a high-ranking official of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in the 21st Century write and mail to a single adult gentleman in Austin, Texas, a signed reply letter on official University of Pennsylvania stationery in which I stated to that individual that he should refrain from ever again describing or referring to "your personal problems" in any future letters or E-mail correspondence that he himself writes and sends to anyone employed at my Ivy League school in Pennsylvania.

----Did I myself cheerfully volunteer from my home in Maryland to a cited "personal friend" of mine in late 1996 that "The voices can end spontaneously!", this during a long-distance phone conversation I had with that single adult gentleman who had called me in December 1996 during his move by automobile from Denver City, Texas, to Palestine, Texas, for a full-time reporting job at "The Palestine Herald-Press" general-circulation daily newspaper in Palestine.

---Did I myself confidently state to a cited friend of mine during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Maryland from his city of residence of Palestine, Texas, in 1996 or 1997: "If you develop a sexual relationship with another human being, that could end the voices!"

---Did I myself write a signed handwritten personal letter in 1997 from Maryland to a cited "friend" of mine residing in Austin, Texas, in which I emphatically advised him, "If there is some individual in the background who is so bored with his own life that he has been meddling in your own life, and you actually identify who that person is, by all means reject that individual!", without myself ever once volunteering to that cited "friend" of mine the name or names of any persons whom I suspected of "meddling" in his own life in any way.

Austin High School of Austin Independent School District in Austin, Texas, when I myself stated in the early 21st Century to that former classmate of mine inside a University Federal Credit Union facility in northwest Austin, "I don't know ANYTHING about your circumstances or living conditions in Austin, other than what my parents have told me about."

---Did I ever at any time in 2000 state in person to an acquaintance of mine in Austin, Texas, with whom I was sharing an apartment at the time, that it did appear from I could myself see that there appeared to be a very suspicious and mysterious sizable air pocket in his abdomen or stomach area that, I agreed, appeared to NOT be adipose tissue, with myself indicating to that acquaintance that possibly there had been some alleged possible medical fraud or "foul play" by a person unbeknownst to myself involved that might account for that artificially inflated abdomen to his own belly.

---Did I as a female married woman in Austin, Texas, volunteer to a single male adult visitor to my and my husband's home in east Austin in 1997 that "an injustice (exact quote) has been done to you, and the private attorney in Austin you've consulted this week will help you," without my ever once citing on any occasion to that single male adult acquaintance of mine any specific example of any specific "injustice" that had been inflicted on that personal acquaintance of mine.

---Did I as a private attorney in the Panhandle region of Texas state in early 1997 during a long-distance phone conversation I had with a recent former client of mine who called my law office in Pampa, Texas, at his own expense from his daily-newspaper workplace in Palestine, Texas, "There may possibly be some person accounting for outside interference in your own life. However, I as an attorney member of the State Bar of Texas have not been able to ascertain WHO the source of that outside interference is.

If you try to oppose him in any way, it will DESTROY YOU!", with myself thereby discouraging that Texan gentleman from himself contacting ANY private attorney in Texas and filing a legal complaint on his own behalf against a cited male adult person who reportedly resided in the northeastern United States.

---Did I as a private attorney in west Texas choose not to make ANY statement of any type on behalf of a client of mine in the spring of 1990 at a judicial hearing in Big Spring, Texas, even though that client of mine was someone I had previously had a friendly personal rapport with during a German language instruction class in Big Spring, Texas, during my and his leisuretime, and my client in the context of that judicial hearing having emphatically stated to me that he had been significantly wronged by a state agency of Texas in the context of that judicial hearing.

---Did I in 1983 or 1984 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, state on the telephone to a single adult gentleman during a local phone call I made to his private residence in Minneapolis that anything he wrote, regardless of whether he had meant it to be serious in nature, came across as being humorous and comical to myself when I read that writing by himself, with myself thereby indicating that none of the concerns of his elicited ANY concern or indignation from myself as well.


---Did I make a completely unsolicited long-distance 1991 phone call from my home in Dallas, Texas, to the private residence of a male adult acquaintance of mine in Sweetwater, Texas, in which I chose to volunteer with no context to my comment, that a certain female adult person from his own past "always did have a thing for you" (exact wording), as I put it, without my explaining in that long-distance phone call I made at my own financial expense WHY the cited woman would have had any involvement or any role of any type in that single adult gentleman's own living conditions or life circumstances in Texas as of 1991---some 12 years AFTER he last spoke in person in Austin, Texas, with that particular female University of Texas at Austin student who identified herself at the time as majoring in English.

---Did I emphatically and in a panicky-sounding voice volunteer on my own initiative to a law-abiding male adult acquaintance of mine during a 1992 phone call he made at his own financial expense to my private residence in New Ulm, Minnesota, from his rental home in Zapata, Texas: "I can offer you this clue: You are not a MASS murderer...," with my voice trailing off at that point, as if to invite speculation from my listener as to whether someone or some "legal" authority or some "attorney" or some "judge " or some government official had accused him of allegedly being a "serial killer", thereby implying that he had himself ever on ANY occasion been physically violent toward ANYONE at any time in his entire life; someone whom I did not cite by name in that phone conversation or since then had allegedly accused my male adult acquaintance of having somehow allegedly "harmed" or "annihilated" the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its residents by himself moving away from that U.S. state in January 1988; someone had accused that male adult acquaintance of mine of pursuing conduct that somehow allegedly undermined the holding of "masses" or church services inside Roman Catholic churches in the United States; or, as another alternative theory, someone or some entity had possibly accused that male adult acquaintance of mine of having allegedly committed "hate" crimes through his internal thought process, presumably, that were allegedly directed against persons of some specified minority background, without my having ever specified as to which "minority group," if any, had alleged that it had been victimized in any way by that civil and law-abiding gentleman with whom I spoke that day in 1992; or that I knew of one person in Minnesota or elsewhere who had allegedly committed the crime of suicide, otherwise known as the crime of self-murder, and who had left behind a suicide note in his own handwriting which blamed that male adult acquaintance of mine in some context for that very same crime of self-murder, or suicide.

---Did I mislead a male adult acquaintance or male adult relative of mine by volunteering to him on the telephone in 1990, during a long-distance phone call he made to my home in Westlake Hills, Texas, from his duplex rental apartment unit in Big Spring, Texas: "I already know how this is going to turn out, so I'm not worried about it," with my disclosure in that phone call failing to cite to that male adult acquaintance or younger relative of mine the specific name of the individual who allegedly was meddling in the life of that male adult acquaintance or younger relative of mine during that period.

----Did I mislead a male adult acquaintance of mine in 1997 by volunteering to him on the telephone in 1997, during a local phone call he made from a pay telephone at his UT-Austin-area apartment complex along Salado Street to my home in Austin, Texas: "The project (exact wording) is winding down, and should be over very soon....", with myself thereby acknowledging to that male adult acquaintance of mine that he was, in fact, being subjected to unwanted manipulations of his own living conditions and unwanted violations of his own privacy rights during that period.

---Did I as an employee of a non-Christian religious congregation in Austin, Texas, in 2001 or 2002 firmly decline to listen to an oral complaint about alleged verbal harassment of himself that a law-abiding single adult gentleman employed as a temp employee at Northwest Life Insurance company in Austin, Texas,. had himself chosen to share with me on the telephone during a work break from his temp job in 2001 or 2002, with myself emphatically stating at that time to that civil and honest gentleman: "Please, don't go on with it!"

---Did I as an adult male acquaintance of a single adult gentleman in Texas repeatedly criticize that individual on the telephone over a multi-year period by myself stating to that individual with no specific context to my repeated reprimands of himself on the telephone in the late 1980s and 1990s during his period of residence and employment in numerous cities and towns of Texas: "You seem to proceed on the assumption that because you believe you have been wronged by someone, you are entitled to financial compensation to yourself. In fact, your attitude of having this sense of entitlement to financial compensation to yourself is offensive to myself and many others."

--Did I as an editor or staff member of "The Big Spring Herald" daily newspaper in Big Spring, Texas, choose in late 1989 to myself consume marijuana along with several or more colleagues of mine during a work-related "party" I myself hosted or attended in late 1989 inside a private residence in Big Spring, Texas, a party that occurred a matter of hours after and the very same day that one of the invited guests who attended that party, a law-abiding single adult gentleman non-smoker, had himself been interviewed for a full-time reporting job inside my general-circulation daily newspaper office in Big Spring, Texas (a newspaper owned by a media company headquartered in Canada).

---Did I as a government official or public official in Texas refuse to insist on a full government-sponsored investigation of circumstances in Texas that pervasively had violated the privacy rights and permanently as well as significantly harmed the hearing capacity of a law-abiding single adult gentleman in Texas.

What I Like the Most about the USA, and what I Dislike the Most about the USA

WHAT I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND AMERICAN SOCIETY:

---The United States is one of the handful of nations in this entire world where English is the official state language. Since English is my primary language, I'm grateful to be residing in a nation where I can actually make use of my English-language skills.

---clever innovative new health-food and healthy-beverage products.

---the great lead that the City of New York has taken in prohibiting the sale of any foods or beverages containing trans fats inside any restaurant or cafe or coffeehouse in New York City, New York.

---the phenomenal variety of cuisines to choose from.

---the greater availability of the poultry meat turkey than in any other nation of the entire world, cooked turkey being one of the most delicious of all meats that can be eaten by human beings.

---the respect for Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Association (as well as the corollary Freedom of Non-Association) clauses of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.

---the massive growth in the energy-conservation and environmental-protection industry in the private sector.

---the respect for each adult individual's right to set his own course in life.

---the belief of many new immigrants to the United States that they enjoy a greater range of freedoms and opportunities after having moved here from a foreign nation.

---the opportunity to contact local-government and state government and federal government officials and express public-policy-related concerns, complaints, and suggestions, with some of those government officials actually taking the time on occasion to then write and mail or E-mail a reply letter to oneself in regard to those stated concerns, complaints, or suggestions.

---the access to records of government-owned institutions that the American legal system permits, with the Texas Open Records Act being an example of a wise and enlightened public-policy measure approved by the State Government of Texas that permits anyone to submit a public-information request to any state-owned or local-government-owned institution or agency in Texas and then obtain a photocopy of all requested documents, with any failure by a government agency or institution in Texas to comply with that public-information request being a basis for legal appeal to the Office of the Attorney General of Texas state agency.

In my own life, I will always be grateful for the Texas Open Records request of mine in a recent prior year to the Travis County District Attorney in Austin, Texas, that prompted the Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin, Texas, to write a follow-up legal letter carbon-copied to myself that ordered the Travis County County Attorney's Office on behalf of the DA's Office in Austin to provide me with photocopies of dozens of pages of tentative criminal-law evidence on file with the DA's office in Austin that each directly referred to individuals in Texas, Minnesota, and Massachusetts who each allegedly have exhibited harmful intent or criminal intent in a context victimizing myself, John Kevin McMillan.

Among the cited criminal-law issues in that massive criminal-law pre-prosecution file on my own behalf and citedly for my own benefit that was officially established by the Travis County District Attorney's Office in Austin, Texas, in January of 2006, are: ongoing and year-round and multi-year as well as multi-decade noise pollution and accompanying anonymous unwanted communications and verbalized death threats against myself in Austin, Texas, that have been determined by a nationally renowned ear, nose, and throat medical specialist in Austin, Texas, Dr. David Tobey of Austin (this through statistical data and accompanying medical records that Dr. Tobey has meticulously and diligently obtained from examining me in person several times over a multi-year period inside his ear, nose, and throat medical clinic in Austin), to be significantly and permanently injurious to my own hearing capacity and medical health.


---the massive increase in the percentage of all Americans who write reports and letters and observations and reflections of theirs several times per week, the Blog-writing and Internet E-mail era contributing to a demystification of writing and democratization of the avocation of writing throughout this country. "In America these days, everyone is a writer," our national leadership might as well proudly declare. "And the fearlessness of the Blogs and E-mail notes being written by Americans each day serves as a further reminder that Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion rights are greater in the United States than in the vast majority of the other nations of the world."

---the many admirably conscientious and vigilant Whistle Blowers of American society who find the courage to contact the government and report significantly illegal conduct that they have directly observed at their own workplace.

---the admirable and urgently-needed trend toward prosecuting attorneys, including in Austin, Texas, filing criminal charges in a court of law against individuals with the HIV virus who allegedly infected one or more other human beings with the HIV virus.


WHAT I DISLIKE THE MOST ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND AMERICAN SOCIETY:


---the failure of our national leadership to adequately emphasize the need to make our nation as morally strong and morally defensible as possible.

---The failure of American society to adequately praise and exalt true gentlemen and true ladies of valor and nobility and wholesome moral values.

---the lack of healthy shared non-partisan or bi-partisan values that could help to lend unity and a greater sense of purpose to American society.

---the failure of the United States Congress and the President of the United States to officially endorse and officially approve the long-term goal of zero population growth for the United States and American society.

---the failure of American society to generously share recycling technology and environmental-protection technology with Third World nations.

---the alarming failure of the U.S. Congress during the Obama Administration to officially and fully approve an international treaty designed to prevent further depletion of the ozone layer and prevent further annihilation of the global environment resulting from the Global Warming Effect.

---the widespread incidence of crime and violence within the USA.

---the permissiveness by the local and state government (and this is particularly the case here in Austin, Texas, and the State of Texas, from what I have observed) toward non-stop and year-round background noise pollution that has been determined by an ear, nose, and throat medical specialist to be permanently and significantly harmful to the hearing capacity and medical health of any person subjected against his wishes to that very unwanted noise pollution.

---the fear of criminals and would-be criminals that terrorizes the vast majority of all law-abiding Americans of today.

---the failure by American society to adequately and generously reward the noble Whistle Blowers of American society who reported to the government factual evidence of major illegal conduct at their own workplace that they directly observed.

---the large number of Americans of today who earn their "livelihood" as illicit-drug-dealers or sexual prostitutes, so much so that a true and fully accurate "Alternative Census" of Americans of today would produce shockingly large numbers in each of those categories that demand immediate action by our nation's political leadership.

---the widespread contempt by much of popular culture toward law-abiding and honorable and wholesome youth groups, a contempt that has played a role in the growing number of illicit youth gangs in American society. Those illicit youth gangs equate masculinity and "honor" with wielding a knife or a gun: those illicit youth gangs make it dangerous for a law-abiding person to walk along the street in Los Angeles, California.

---the contempt by popular culture in the United States toward non-sexual or strictly platonic personal relationships, with Hollywood movies incorrectly implying that when a woman and a man are interacting with each other, only two possibilities can result from that involvement: his attempting to force himself upon her and have sex with her, or his asking her to go out on a romantic date with himself.

---the perverse exaltation of obscene speech and profane speech by American popular culture, so much so that it is rare to watch a Hollywood movie these days in which all of the language is clean, and "rap music" and "punk rock music" and "rock music" produced by Americans are riddled with profanely misanthropic language.

----the unconscionable exportation to foreign nations of gratuitously violent movies and gratuitously violent and misanthropic musical recordings that were produced in the United States, this type of "export" being pervasively injurious to other nations as well.

---the very high injury rate to football players that occurs in college football and professional football games in the United States, with permanent neurological damage to football players resulting from head injuries they sustained being particularly alarming.

---rampant urban sprawl and accompanying unattractive chaos and wastage of fossil fuels.

---the glaring fact that nearly all cities and towns of the USA of today are not designed to serve pedestrians seeking to walk within a reasonable amount of time from one end of that municipality to the other end.

---the high percentage of all Americans who because of their addiction to alcohol or tobacco or marijuana or other illicit drugs destroy their own and others' lives.

---the enormity of the tobacco and alcohol industries in the United States, and the outrageous manner in which those industries based in the United Stats are being permitted to export the "hell" they inflict on their victims to foreign nations as well.

---the shockingly high incidence of unwanted pregnancies in the United States, and particularly among American women and American female youths under age 20.

---the alarmingly high percentage of all Americans of today who either flunk out of high school or drop out of school without obtaining a high school diploma.

---the failure of our national leadership to call our entire nation's attention to the massive loss of cropland and pastureland and ranchland that is occurring each year because of urban sprawl and unjustifiable intrusion on agricultural and ranching land throughout this country. The U.S. Government should be providing our entire nation with a fully publicized monthly, bimonthly, semiannual, and annual report that cites the total number of acres currently being used for agriculture or ranching in this country, by category, and how that number compares with one year ago at that time, five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, and 50 years ago.

---the growing reliance of American society on Third World nations for agricultural produce that is then offered for sale inside American supermarkets, it being very difficult inside H.E.B. chain supermarkets in Austin, Texas, these days to find ANY avocados for sale that were produced in California or any other U.S. state, if applicable.

(103) You are spared from having to decide which romantic-love poem to read aloud to a hypothetical sex partner of yours in your personal life.

(105) You are all the more appreciative of the great wisdom behind the Freedom of Association clause of the Bill of Rights. The corollary to that clause is a "Freedom of Non-Association" in regard to individuals whom you have rejected from your own personal life, this corollary having been helpfully confirmed in a recent prior year by at least one first-rate private attorney member of the Austin-based State Bar of Texas state agency of the State Government of Texas.

(106) You are spared from asking your travel agent to please include several of the most romantic vacation destinations for lovebirds when he plans your itinerary for your next leisuretime vacation.

(110) You will be more aware of which persons, on an in-person basis, are the very finest and most enjoyable conversation partners for you in regard to non-sexual topics.

(111) You won't have to worry about which first name and which middle name to give to a hypothetical child born out of wedlock that you might have otherwise fathered or given birth to.

(112) You won't have to hire a baby-sitter or day-care center to take care of any child born out of wedlock whom you might otherwise have fathered or given birth to.

(113) You won't have to continually explain to acquaintances of yours why you are the only legal guardian of the child accompanying you on that outing, since you are not married to the other biological parent of that child.

(116) You won't lose any sleep from having to get up in the middle of the night to take care of a crying baby that you might have otherwise fathered or given birth do out of wedlock.


(117) You significantly reduce your risk of contracting cervical cancer or anal cancer that otherwise might have resulted from your having indiscriminate sex with a wide variety of sex partners.

(118) Your risk of an unfavorable afterlife, according to your own religious beliefs as a Christian person whose Christian religion opposes premarital sex, is significantly reduced.

(119) You are more likely to get discovered by a Hollywood movie director as someone who could convincingly portray a lifelong celibate Roman Catholic priest or a lifelong celibate Roman Catholic nun in a Hollywood movie.

(120) You significantly reduce the risk that the complete stranger you just invited into your apartment a few hours after you met him or her in an alcoholic bar or alcoholic nightclub, is himself a violent person who'll point a gun at you and threaten to kill you.

(121) You are spared from the humiliation of learning that the person you'd picked up from a nightclub or bar and promptly had sex with after they assured you that they were single, was, in fact, a married man or married woman.

(122) You are spared from the humiliation of learning that the man you just had sex with is, in fact, a law-breaking pimp who will now ruthlessly attempt to force you into an illicit career as a sexual prostitute under his control.

(123) You are spared from the emotional duress you might otherwise have suffered from learning that the complete stranger you agreed to have sex with after you had just met that individual for the first time ever inside a bar or nightclub, is, in fact, a freelance journalist writing an expose for a foreign magazine about how deplorably easy it is these days to pick up single Americans and have quickie sex with them, "since Americans of today are shockingly promiscuous and immoral," as that cover story featuring photographs of yourself and other citedly promiscuous single Americans might explain.

(124) You are spared from a humiliating scenario in which you are informed that the individual you just had sex with for the first time in your life was, in fact, a minor employed as an undercover agent for a law-enforcement agency. In that hypothetical scenario, the minor employed as an undercover agent had falsely claimed to you that that individual is a legal-status adult. Your cited failure to ask that individual if you could check their date of birth on their driver's license is one of the primary allegations against you to be cited in a court of law in which you are formally accused of a pederastic sex crime, in that hypothetical scenario you are spared from ever being subjected to.

(125) You are encouraged to develop a profound sense of philosophy that does not focus on philosophy of the bedroom.

(126) You are less likely to be asked by an invited guest inside your home whether you have any "sex toys" or whips to offer that guest of yours.

(127) You are less likely to be asked by an invited guest inside your home whether you like to be tied up after getting naked with that individual?

(128) You are less likely to be asked by another human being whether you would "like to become a sex slave" of that individual?

(129) You are less likely to be asked by a visitor inside your home whether you have any musk cologne in the medicine cabinet of your apartment, since "musk cologne is a favorite aphrodisiac of mine, and I have a very difficult time doing it in the bedroom without the powerful scent of musk," as that visitor might otherwise have put it.

(130) You are less likely to be asked by another person to cite your favorite aphrodisiac.

(131) You are less likely to be asked in bed by an anonymous sex partner of yours if you will be willing to pose for a photograph of you that your sex partner wishes to take while you're still in the nude, "since my photo album exclusively features each of my hundreds of sexual conquests," as that person might boast to yourself seconds after he had sex with you. "I take pride in being a 21st Century Casanova."

(132) You are less likely to be asked by a male sex partner of yours if you would like to know what his secret is for having maintained his erection for as many consecutive minutes as he just did inside your bedroom.

(133) You are less likely to be asked by a male sex partner of yours if you would like to know what his secret is for phenomenal sexual prowess in the bedroom, which he feels very sure that he just demonstrated to yourself that night.

(134) You are less likely to be asked by your male sex partner to tell him exactly how many times you achieved an orgasm during your most recent adventure in the bedroom with him, "since I'm very sure you did it multiply with very big numbers," as he might proudly point out to yourself.

(135) You save a lot of money, and a lot of trips to a laundrymat, from not having to wash the sheets and blankets to your bed more than once per week.

(136) You are spared from being told by a complete stranger inside your apartment that you remind that individual of a porno movie star whom he or she has admired quite a bit.

(137) You are spared from being told by a naked stranger inside your apartment that he is a recruiter for a porno movie-making company, and that he had just had sex with you primarily to find out whether you have what it takes to succeed as a porno movie star.

(138) You can successfully thwart any stalker seeking to force you to room with that individual or have sex with that individual, since the U.S. Constitution and American legal system make it very clear that you as a single adult person are NOT required to have sex with anyone or room with anyone in particular, regardless of what the stalker's own "wishes" or "desires" or "fantasies about you" might be.

(139) You are more likely to visit a Roman Catholic monastery in order to learn more about celibate lifestyle options for single adult persons such as yourself.

(140) You are more likely to admire Roman Catholic monks, since it strikes you as likely that those priests living in complete isolation are, in fact, true to their celibacy vow.

(141) You are more likely to pursue a career as a researcher on celibate lifestyles, with yourself possibly pursuing an oral history project in which you interview thousands of long-term celibate adult Americans about what prompted them to choose that lifestyle option for themselves, and what their lives and values are like.

(142) You are more likely to write a best-selling and fully illustrated non-fiction book profiling "Famous Virgins of World History" or "Famous Long-Term Celibate Adult Persons of World History," depending on which of the two book titles would appeal the most to the book publishers you send inquiry letters to.

(143) You are more likely to write a best-selling book deploring the misconception by millions of Americans that long-term adult celibacy in this country is "proof that the long-term celibate is mentally ill and paranoid."

(144) You are more aware than ever of the high percentage of all other single adult Americans who would not have passed a "sobriety test," as you might put it, with yourself defining a "sobriety test" as "asking myself whether I would have actually wanted to get naked and have sexual intercourse with that adult person if each of us were completely sober at the time."

(145) You are more likely to ask yourself whether a person you just met "might make a good candidate for friendship with me" and less likely to ask yourself whether the individual you just met in person "might make a good candidate for sex-partner status with me."

(146) You are less likely to play strip poker with anyone.

(147) You are less likely to risk violating the law by telling a woman that if she agrees to have sex with you, you will hire her for a position of employment she's recently applied for, or you will arrange for her to get a screen test she seeks with a Hollywood director.

(148) You are more likely to write a best-selling non-fiction book with the title, "Virginity and Celibacy in the American Cinema."

(149) You are more likely to leave behind a generous amount of money in your last will and testament toward the establishment of an "American Long-Term Celibacy Research Institute".

(150) You are less likely to be sternly informed by another person that if you had instead lived in Puritan New England during the 17th Century, you would have definitely been branded with the scarlet letter "A" on your chest.

(151) You are less likely to be informed by a male adult stranger inside your bedroom that "after getting a closer look at you tonight as we copulated together in bed, I have to withdraw my previous comment that you'd make a fine centerfold for 'Playboy' magazine. I can see now that the alcohol in my bloodstream exaggerated some of the physical traits I praised you for inside that nightclub."

(152) You are at less risk of being insulted by a complete stranger inside your bedroom who suddenly declares to you that "I cannot understand why you rate so high in the breast department, but you rate so low in the vagina and derriere department. To be in bed with you is like experiencing the very best and the very worst that a lady can offer a man."

(153) You are at less risk of anyone saying to you, "If you were one-tenth as good at conversation as you are in the boudoir, I might consider dating you again. But it's obvious your conversational skills are so weak that I cannot possibly in good conscience continue dating you."

(154) You are at less risk of anyone saying to you, "That sexual climax you just experienced will be your final one with me. I don't believe in having sex with the same person more than once. It would cramp my style."

(155) You are less likely to be told by a complete stranger inside his home, "I lied to you about my career. I'm actually a Sex Trafficking Specialist by occupation, and you are my latest kidnapping victim. Later this week, you'll be a sex slave in a brothel somewhere in eastern Europe. I'll be giving you a mandatory crash course in that foreign language in the meantime."

(156) You are less likely to be asked by a complete stranger inside his private residence, "So tell me, how many positions do you do in the bedroom? I prefer dating those who can do it 100 ways in the bedroom."

(157) You are less likely to regard every phrase and term and word of the English language as a Freudian slip laced with juicy sexual innuendo.

(158) You are less likely to be accused by another person of only knowing bathroom humor.

(159) You won't feel compelled to explain to a complete stranger in your home that "I'm a lot less sexually active than you think I am. The only reason I said 'yes' to you tonight is because
I felt sorry for you inside that nightclub where we met. No one else was responding favorably to you, and that didn't seem fair to you."

(160) You are spared from your most recent sex partner suddenly informing you just after having sex with you that "I forgot to tell you that I have herpes. I'm sorry that it slipped my mind. I guess I was so intoxicated by your beauty during our date tonight that I forgot to tell you about my herpes. I will make it up to you, though, by paying for your first bottle of medication you'll need to temporarily remove the herpes lesions from your body."

(161) You are spared from being told by a complete stranger inside a hotel room, "I've got some good news and some bad news for you, honey. The good news is that I'm HIV-negative. The bad news is that I'm herpes-positive. I would have told you about it if you had asked me. Look at it this way. You still can enjoy a full medical longevity, despite the date we had tonight."

(162) You are spared from being abruptly informed by a male college student inside that individual's hotel room, "Honey, I meant to tell you that my background in football taught me a lot about the value of gang tackling. I hope you don't mind, honey, if several of my former varsity-squad teammates join us tonight inside this hotel room for a fun gang-tackle. It's not going to be gang rape, as long as you say 'yes' to us. And I promise you that you'll be doing lots of multiple orgasms tonight, so you'll be in constant ecstasy all night long. In fact, you might even reach infinity in your ecstasy level, with all the multiplying you'll be doing tonight in bed."

(163) You are spared from hearing "well-intended" personal guidance from acquaintances of yours that "as long as you can't see your sex partner in the dark, you should never be repulsed by that individual. In the dark, even the ugliest or most unsightly person can come across as pleasant, since you enjoy the freedom to yourself imagine that individual as someone else altogether, an individual found in your own favorable-fantasy life who IS, in fact, attractive to and appetizing to yourself."

(164) You have achieved full protection against any risk of any person born more than 12 months before yourself ever attempting to have carnal relations or sexual relations with you in any context at any time, or even seeking to compel you to room with anyone more than 12 months older than yourself in age. That freedom from older persons in your personal life in either of those two contexts can be a source of very great and wonderful relief.

(165) You have more occasions for re-reading American writer James Thurber's 1929 book, "Is Sex Necessary?", in order to yourself politely concur with the author that sex is not, in fact, necessary.

(166) You can save money by choosing not to purchase or read Alex Comfort's famous book, "The Joy of Sex."

(167) You have more incentive to write a best-selling book with the title, "History of Spinsters in the United States."

(168) You have no need to ever write a best-selling book with the title, "101 Ways to Achieve an Orgasm."

(169) You will develop a keener appreciation for the asexual or non-sexual or non-romantic definitions and connotations and sounds of words and terms such as "climax", "erection", "virgin olive oil", "come", "seamen," "titular," "blow," "date," "lover," "lubricant", "partner", "jam", "cherry", "wet", "hot", "heat", ""virgin forest", "wool", "lady killer", "screw", "affair", "eruption", "flood", "hole", "thing", "toy", "slave", "hard", "stiffen", "gymnastics", "thrust", "enter", "bottom", "top", "open", "receptive", "dominant", "passive", "lay", "stripped", "crotch", "trick", "neck", "loose", "doing it", "encounter", "discreet", "tongue", "frigid", "potency", "aids", "flesh", "eager", "beaver", "shot the bird", "wad", "weapon", "tool", "valley", "unzip", "zipper", "quickie", "bang", "oral", and "penetrate."

(170) Your eventual estate after you die is less likely to be subjected to numerous lawsuits in which numerous persons---including dozens of former dating partners of yours and former spouses and former roommates or housemates of yours in your personal life---each demand to be paid a sizable amount of money or given property from your estate, based on their claim in probate court that they had each been "sexually intimate" with you during your lifetime for a specific period of time ranging from one minute in duration to 30 total combined minutes of duration, or even longer in total combined minutes of duration.

(171) You are less likely to be suspected by others of having allegedly committed the crime or possible crime of pederasty or extortionism or bribery or blackmail or attempted enslavement of a human being, or intergenerational exploitation of younger persons, when you are generous toward, and express keen enthusiasm and appreciation for, several or many of the younger persons whom you like or admire or love.

(172) You can pursue other forms of vigorous exercise that provide you with better cardiovascular stimulation and strengthen a greater variety of muscles on your body than participating in the sex act per se would have accomplished for you.

(173) You won't be as likely to hear your life described by others as featuring a triangle of any type.

(174) You will have fewer occasions for pondering romantic-love triangles in your own life whenever you fly near Bermuda, and the famous Bermuda Triangle, on a commercial airline flight.

(175) You are more likely to write to the Mayor of Dallas, Texas, and politely request that an existing street in Dallas be re-named "Just Friends Lane", thereby serving visitors to Dallas and current Dallas residents who don't feel comfortable with the world-famous "Lovers Lane" in that north Texas city.

(176) You are less likely to be accused by anyone of yourself falsely stating that you are suffering from a headache, with the accuser in that scenario adding that you obviously did not want to have sex with that individual at that particular time and that the "headache complaint" was merely a pretext for your lack of sexual desire toward that individual.

(177) You are less likely to hear anyone ask you which of the vitamin or mineral supplements that you ingest on a daily basis account for your "legendary success in the bedroom."

(178) You are less likely to ever hear anyone pose the accusatory-sounding question to you, "Aren't you too old to be having sex, during this period of your life? Why can't you be like the many senior citizens who limit their exercise to going back and forth on a rocking chair?"

(179) You are less likely to ever hear anyone say to you, "You are a lot better looking when you're fully attired. Have you thought of retiring from any further pursuits in the nude, during this period of your life when you primarily elicit winces from anyone having to look at you in that condition?"

(180) You have fewer reasons for telling dirty jokes to anyone, and you also have fewer reasons for listening to dirty jokes from anyone else.

(181) You have more incentive for reading books profiling great non-sexual or strictly-platonic personal relationships of world history, including the famous personal friendship in the 1950s and 1960s between Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson.

(182) You are more likely to lead an Involuntary Huggers' Rights Movement that protects the legal right of individuals NOT wishing to be embraced or hugged or kissed by another person in any context, to enjoy full freedom from an involuntary embrace, an involuntary hug, or an involuntary kiss, regardless of whether any such embrace, hug, or kiss would have occurred with both individuals being fully clothed at the time. Your Involuntary Huggers' Rights Movement could file lawsuits and seek financial compensation on behalf of individuals who were infected with herpes of the lip when a herpes sufferer kissed them without obtaining their prior permission for that kiss.

(183) You are more likely to enhance your personal appreciation for the virgin Greek Goddess Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, while lowering your personal estimation of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Romantic Love.

(184) You will have fewer occasions for having to figure out how to remove a brassiere from a woman's body.

(185) You are less likely inside the bedroom to ever hear another person accuse you of secretly fantasizing about someone else who is not present in that bedroom.

(186) You have less of a need to worry that "Playboy" magazine or "Playgirl" magazine will ever make a phone call to you and request the opportunity to interview you about your activities in the bedroom.

(187) You are far less likely to get into a "lovers' quarrel" with another human being.

(188) You are far less likely to jump from a cliff and leave behind a suicide note expressing your grief over having been rejected by another person.

(189) You are less likely to lose sleep over trying to figure out why another person in your life has been aloof or cruel toward you in recent days.

(190) You can hone your skills at politely saying "no" to individuals you don't wish to date who are seeking to go on a romantic date with you.

(191) You are more likely to notice physical attributes of other persons that are situated above their waistline.

(192) You have additional incentive to anthologize a collection of Platonic Love poems and then serve as the editor of that proposed new best-selling book.

(193) You develop greater appreciation for philosophers---Kant, for instance---who emphasize the crucial importance of mutually-beneficial platonic relationships in life.

(194) You are more likely to write a first-rate and wholesome book for children that becomes a best-seller.

(195) You are less likely to be distracted by the adult person sitting on the passenger side of you motor vehicle when you give that individual a ride somewhere.

(196) You are more likely to celebrate International Friendship Day in August of each year.

(197) You have more occasions for getting to know the various tea blends--ginger green tea, for instance---and for having a conversation with another person over a cup of hot tea.

(198) You have more free time available for learning and honing your skills in a variety of lifelong sports, tennis and roller skating and racquetball among them, that can help to sustain you throughout your life.

(199) You are more likely to serve as the editor of a new recipe book that exclusively contains favorite culinary recipes of noteworthy or famous long-time celibate persons (the widowed First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, for instance; or various nuns and monks and priests who fully honored their celibacy vow) who ate each of the featured dishes with particular delight during a period of long-term celibacy for themselves.

(200) You are far less likely to be suspected of the crime of homicide, since any possibility of intense romantic jealousy by yourself toward any other human being can be ruled out from the start.

(201) You are more likely to earn a significant amount of financial compensation after you successfully prove in a court of law, with help from a private attorney of your choosing, that a ruthless stalker of yourself who repeatedly meddled in your own life, had subjected you to unwanted and involuntary sexual celibacy against your wishes over a multi-month or multi-year or multi-decade period of your own life.
