i just can not believe that particular subject to be an issue these days. it is one thing third world inhabitants still have a say about it, since old ideas and customs are hard to change_but to think that people from the so called ancient and evolved side of the planet waste their time that way?

(What really annoyed me about this particular instance was the fact that Morgan said, "You're always so open and honest about everything - except your sexuality, please comment on that one thing you've kept private now." I didn't stay to watch what Sir Cliff said, but I hope he said, "Why should it matter
