CULTURE America's War on Sex: The Continuing Attack on Law, Lust, and Liberty, by Marty Klein, Ph.D. Why does our government want to censor what you read, hear, and see, try to limit your access to contraception, attempt to legislate good moral values, and try to brainwash your kids about abstinence? These are the kinds of questions Dr. Marty Klein asks―and answers. With hundreds of examples ripped from today's headlines, he names names, challenges political hypocrisy, and shows the financial connections between government and conservative religious groups that are systematically taking away your rights.
