We were just talking to psychology professor Paul Bloom, who is endlessly fascinated with what he calls acts of perversity - basically being bad just because you can.
To promote, such is the perversity of unprincipled prejudices, the future welfare of the very beings whose present existence they imbitter by the most despotic stretch of power.
Sorry, I thought the world would-buggery is what used to be called an “unnatural act, of the Oscar Wilde type” is how it was actually phrased in the euphemism of the British paper.
