He has an obsession with "sex" in that he wrote a lot about "Mr. Midnight" and his friends who only had one thing on their mind and were acting on their animal instincts with no self control. The author wrote about the person going through a sex change operation and about the wine club. Does anybody in TV land know these characters from the book. The author had a lot of disparaging remarks about the TV owner and his family. What do the residents think about Mr. Morse? The author didn't like the idea of not allowing children to live in TV. I think that what makes TV unique. I am thinking of moving to TV someday but if TV is going to be "Sin City", I am having second thoughts since I don't agree with all the sexapades that is going on. I know I won't be visting Katie Belle anytime soon.
There has been words upon words written about this disgusting book (IMHO). Would it sell if it described the Villages as another ordinary senior citizens community? Of course not, sensational sells (see todays media)
The Villages is what you make it. It's a safe place to enjoy your peers for whatever you have in mind. Forget the smut you read and come down and drink the water. With a population of 70,000 plus, I'm sure you will find friends that meet your standards. I speak with experience that I found paradise here and it abounds with wonderful people.
