Our response is, "'The sex is Worse". What's your opinion?

As Sir Winston Churchill once so famously said "a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on."
A person who drank a lot before retirement is probably going to drink a lot following retirement too, but I doubt the level of "drunkenness" is any higher in TV than an any other place of like size. But going back to Sir Winston's comment...reading stories about excessive imbibing (or wanton sex) is going to draw one heck of a lot more readers and listeners than articles about local churches filling shoeboxes for children's Christmas every year, or "Honey do" programs where parish members make themselves available, free of charge, to do tasks that fellow Villagers can no longer do on their own, or neighborhood co-operative pet-sitters or house-watchers, or efforts in conjunction with the Humane Society, etc.; all and a whole lot more of which take place in The Villages.
But, people enjoy reading about sleaze, so...
