Does Banning Things Ever Succeed? Just recently, the Taliban of Afghanistan Have begun to ban the ancient game of Chess. This revered 'sport' has been pegged as a form of betting: As authoritative power creeps into our democracy, Are we witnessing the banning of the ancient 'game' of sex, Similar, of that occurring in Afghanistan?: Namely, in spite of decades of research, We now hear the proclamation that there are only two sexes! All others of the 57 sexual orientations just do not exist-- A true limitation of that variation of this ancient 'game'. Frank Maurer 21 June 2025 1035 Hours.
