Hugh Hefner died yesterday.
Good riddance.
Hefner led a so-called “sexual revolution” that resulted in untold millions of broken families, rolling epidemics of life-damaging and life-ending sexually transmitted diseases, and the normalization of drug and alcohol abuse, risky premarital and extra-marital sex, and the abortion culture.
In addition to being one of the most morally corrosive forces in American history, Hugh Hefner was also one of the most expensive: his philosophy of hedonism led to a vast expansion of government. Social service agencies multiplied to meet the needs of children left behind by divorce and casual sex, and public health expenditures exploded to address the consequences of addictions and diseases contracted in the sexual playgrounds Hefner helped normalize.
