Summary

This quote suggests that while institutions may exist in society, such as governments and organizations, they do not necessarily reflect the presence of a true civil society. It implies that the existence of institutions alone is not enough to ensure a functioning and progressive society. The failure lies in the lack of development and cultivation of a civil society, which involves active participation, cooperation, and the collective values and behaviors that promote harmony and progress. This quote highlights the need for individuals and communities to work towards creating and sustaining a truly civil society that goes beyond formal institutions.

In regard to pornography, 41% of all men reported having done one of the following in the last twelve months: watching an X-rated movie, visiting a club with semi-nude or nude dancers, purchasing sexually explicit books, magazines, erotic devices or sex toys, or calling a sex phone number.But of course, those statistics have no relationship to Christians who believe in the authority of the bible, are pro-life, and are committed to their families, right?

At the conclusion of the conference, the hotel manager told the conference administrator that the number of guests who tuned into the adult movie channel broke the previous record, far and away outdoing any other convention in the history of the hotel.
