With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999

In my opinion, and I know that it is not entirely shared by a prudish, bowdlerizing public, one word is just as good as another. Just because a word comes from our Saxon heritage, which tends to use copulative epithets, as opposed to the Norman which tends to use the scatalogical, seems to me no reason to depreciate it. I see no reason to urge that honest words refering to pleasant activites be coyly clothed in asterisks or bound in drapes, like the poor Spirit of Justice, held hostage to petty prudery*.
When I mean fuck, artistic honesty suggests to me I should use it, not make an attempt to loiter, guiltily, furtively behind some prissy, hypocritical fence, through which everyone can see what I am doing, but which allows the passer by to pretend that what I say is in order, because I let them pretend to themselves that maybe, possibly, improbably, I meant something else. I demand the artistic privilege of saying what I want to - or need to - say in the way that seems best to me to communicate my thoughts - however "dirty" others may see them. If others don't appreciate it, they may pass my work by. Just as I pass by the depictions of Roman instruments of torture that others have used to decorate certain buildings and simply wonder how much better the world would be if we celebrated things other than man's cruelty to man.
But that is me. I certainly didn't want to impose any unwanted opinion of mine on you, or suggest you should follow some particular school. Those are your choices.Judging by your poetry, you are quite capable of and competent to make those choices for yourself.
As for why I asked, I simply wondered about why you did it?
Kind Regards
Hermit
