Constitutional Freedom and
Morality
By T.S.Khanna, February 17,
2013.
Just as absolute
power corrupts absolutely, absolute freedom creates a social disorder
absolutely. Freedom without limits,
accountability, and attendant obligations, creates a social disorder that keeps
growing as the inherited force of tradition keeps fading away with time. There
comes a point when people start taking liberties that damage the very framework
of morality that provided liberties in the first place.
In the US,
constitutional powers are divided too thin for any person or organization to
protect any set of values. This setting
is now providing hey days for the deviates professing the doctrine of moral
relativism equating the best of human culture with the worst of human
nature. The constitution that guaranteed
freedom with a vision of only high moral road is now under unbearable strain.
In human beings,
sex is the strongest drive.
Actualization of sex drive with well designed controls and sublimation
techniques, created a culture that set sets human beings apart from animals. Cultural restraints on sexual behavior
created a civilized society. It takes
several generations to build a refined culture and only one or two generations
to destroy it.
Constitutional
freedom now being applied to sexual behavior, is gathering momentum to destroy
the American civilization. Some of the
best educational institutions are gearing into sexual overdrive.
The case in point
is the well reputed Yale. A recent
graduate, Nathan Harden, in his book, “Sex and God at Yale” writes that the
Yale administrators/professors, who came of age during the sexual revolution,
are now legitimizing and indoctrinating students into a culture of promiscuity
in the name of moral relativism under constitutional freedom.
According to
Harden, the Yale campus sex week (a part of the official curriculum) , is a
festival of sleaze, porn, and debauchery, dressed up as sex education. The events of sex week include
- Screening hard core porn;
- Marketing of sex toys and porn production companys;
- Porn star stripped to bare breasts, attached pinching and binding devices to herself, as a lesson in sadomasochism;
- Female students competing in a porn star look alike contest judged by male porn producers;
- A porn film showing a woman bound and beaten. Shown in the context of instruction on how students might engage in relationship of their own.
While depriving
the life of its dignity, refinement, sophistication, and sanctity in human
relationships, this degraded sensualism, defying the cultural restraints, is
being justified and legitimized on the basis of moral relativism. Constitutional equality is claimed for all
types of moral practices.
Harvard, as well
as the Universities of Illinois and Wisconsin have already become the copy cats
of Yale.
The constitution
allows no opposition to such an assault on American civilization. The very constitution that has been the
strength of American society is now becoming the cause of its destruction. The enigma is rooted in the well defined Bill
of Rights without defining the limits, accountability, and attendant
obligations.
It is an
indication that no political idea or constitution can have a permanent shelf
life.
Constitutional
amendments are essential, but given the amendment process in place and the existing
diversity, the necessary amendments may not be possible.
Each generation
enjoys or suffers the doings of the preceding generations. The custodians of
great American heritage, culture, and civilization must act instead of watching
the destruction helplessly.
