In their usual sneaky fashion, the Times does this in such a way as to make it appear that spontaneous, lust-driven butt thex between strangers is not only normal, it is enlightened, superior behavior.
From Metropolitan Diary :
Note the way the Times snidely allows this Metro Diary contributor to frame the process of developing a woody at the mere prospect of a stranger doing something to him that until recently and since biblical times was illegal in the entirety of the Western World, as something that is validated by biology.

How nice. I also enjoyed the headline about young obama's "remarkable letter" concerning, supposedly, T.S. Elliot. (Isn't he awfully Dead White Male for a young man of color on the make?)
P.S. Then there was the sweet story about the immigrant (I guess) who kept asking (at the Museum of Natural History) for the "sea lion." Turns out she wanted the "C Line" of public transport. Too hard to add "the train" to her question whem she first asked.
I' a strong believer in broken windows theory. Start with weeding out those little things (peole who can't aska question that can be understood), and you won't have the big ones (beat downs and polar-bear hunting.)
