What the problem is is that just now I was walking back across campus and past a dormitory and I saw a sign welcoming back students with the slogan: "What happens at Whittier, stays at Whittier."
Though I always love slogans and aphorisms when they're employed in a way that enhances the general curriculum of a school, like stuff from Shakespeare and some of the more intellectual-type celebrities, like Mr. Rogers, this particular form of slogan makes me want to vomit.
It's all covered up in the filth of Bourgois/Christian culture, where lust is an ephemeral substance that can be unleashed and closed off. When it's unleashed, this usually occurs in wicked and permissive dens of iniquity, cut off from the good part of the world, in order to conceal the filthy behavior of it's inhabitants. Why do they want the filth inside these evil places? One, you gotta keep the evil in cause if it gets out it will jack people up, so if you're gonna release it, do so in an appropriately closed-off area. Two, the good thing about sin and filth is that, even though your rulers say it's evil, they've also made sure that you want it desperately.
If what happens in Vegas really does stay there, than why not live there? You wouldn't want to, because sin must be indulged in moderately, with bourgouis restraint.
Gambling, prostitution, adultery, abnormal sexual inclinations are all products of evil, which is also a substance moving around in the world. Rather than evil, many people now prefer the substance of 'good/bad choices' and 'appropriateness.'
Living in this world of different forces pulling, pushing and embracing you. Even though when you step aside you can only feel the wind, which rarely gets strong enough to do anything to you but make you feel a little fresh or cold.
