Warning: Reading the thoughts of other could change your own.

I’ve never been a big fan of the ACLU, but now I think they would do worse than your average Joe on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” You may remember the infamous bathroom scandal involving Senator Craig of Idaho. Well, the ACLU has jumped into the fray claiming that people having sex in public bathrooms have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Okay, folks, time to grab a copy of Webster’s and look up what any third grader knows: public and private are OPPOSITES. Yes, yes, we have the right to hope that people won’t peek when we’re sitting on the throne, but kings and queens we are not. There are plenty of slits in which to peek, and many if not most people will peek under stall doors to check for occupants before entering. There is so little relative privacy that I wouldn’t even make a personal call in a public restroom, let alone have sex. If we’re honest, most of us go into restrooms with our blinders on. Out of courtesy we try to not see and hear what we might see and hear. We mentally block out the sights and sounds of the things that would embarrass us or others. If you’re nodding to that statement, then we agree that sexual congress (oh the irony of that word) in a public bathroom would take effort to ignore, and would therefore be anything but private. Behind a stall door is far different from “behind closed doors.” So folks, no trading stock tips, no revealing embarrassing medical conditions, and no intercourse in public bathrooms – not if you want those things kept private!!
