Vice of Buggery
at FTC
At
the Federal Trade Commission we have seen attorneys who suffer from the
vice of buggery get promoted to higher and more important international
divisions. Now then, are these attorneys who have personal sexual
problems and are breaking the laws of sodomy not wanted in the main
group of Federal Trade Commission Employees? Is the FTC worried about
sexual harassment laws? Are they worried about on-the-clock Men's
Restroom "Quickies" and the possibility of the need for an unflattering
in-house employee investigation becoming public? Is the Federal Trade
Commission afraid to fire these buggerists, for some employee unlawful
termination suit? Is buggery so pervasive that the FTC has to invent
new titles for these guys so they can be moved up in rank to other
divisions? If so why doesn't the FTC adopt a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Policy" to prevent special treatment of those who suffer from buggery?
Can't the FTC get psychological help for these men who thrust their
penis up another man's rectum? Obviously these human organs were not
set up to do that.
