Reader Feedback on "Will the Future Be Hard?"
I agree with your observations on the allure of the natural human body. Sags and wrinkles have a charm of their own, as do the tight, well-toned bodies of the young. Good health lends appeal to a body of any age, but surgical transformation of flesh almost always ruins it. There are few things less sexually appealing than the plastic feel of augmented breasts or the scary, stretched look of a "lifted" face. Women who do this to themselves have all the charm of a blow-up doll.

Wouldn't it be something if the "natural" vagarities of the errection became a kind of sui generis that became highly prized? (Though as one who has tried viagra, I think it's still a bit unpredictable, even given pharmaceutical enhancement.) But I applaud the ability of the drug to offer extended years of activity to men who otherwise would fade away...that's a benefit, though the issue of "who pays" is a real concern...given the wide spectrum of drugs that many seniors need, viagra and its counterparts may continue to be a luxury for the few, not the many...giving a whole new meaning to "haves and have nots."

Hey Rufus. Happy New Year! I think I agree with you if I'm reading you correctly (I have the flu and I'm not too cogent right now.) As society evolves, it seems to be getting more and more superficial, more artificial, and less intellectual than ever. (Intelligence has nothing to do with common sense.) From where I pontificate, most (younger) people can neither see nor appreciate the subtleties of life, especially sex and human relationships. I think this is particularly true in the U.S. , the birthplace of immediate gratification.

Perhaps Van Gogh painted a few haystacks too, but Monet is guy who blows our minds with his famous series of haystacks in different seasons and changing light. Check your art history texts from freshman year. If you know of some Van Gogh haystacks, I would love to see those as well. Thanks. ps Your magazine is excellent. hugh driscoll, santa fe, new mexico

On the January letter from the Editors; Oh, if only it would be true! Imagine! A cultivated affection for wrinkles and the 'sag of seasoned flesh'? It would be like spending enough years in the sexual kitchen to have finally become a consumate chef of sensuality only to discover that your's is now the most popular eatery! How satisfying a fantasy for those of us approaching that day all too quickly when we are disregarded as sexual, sensual or attractive to any but one another. Then again...who else but one another will we need? We'll order from the senior's menu, "A bowl of cunnilingus, a side of Viagara, and an orgasm seared slowly, please...very well done." --
