Certainly it is true that, had he eyes to see, the Kvetcher would find an informal polygamy, the universal femmoid preference, all around him and throughout his adoptive society, in every crack and crevasse, in his school and in his workplace and in his synagogue. But it is difficult to get a man to notice something when his sanity depends on his not noticing it. For is it really “monogamy” when the prospective bride has had a small train run on her between fifteen and thirty? The Bible suggests otherwise:

20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

As does Monsieur Saul’s own holy book:

20 But if this matter was true: [indeed,] no evidence of the girl’s virginity was found.

21 they shall take the girl out to the entrance of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall pelt her with stones, and she shall die, for she did a disgraceful thing in Israel, to commit adultery [in] her father’s house. So shall you clear away the evil from among you.

Needless to say, from the perspective of the mommy-whipped paper-pushing nerdoids staffing the security state, those who profess the view that an Anglo-Germanic gril should save herself for her husband are probably terrorists. But the Universe’s sense of cosmic irony is such that in the current year he (the eternal nerdoid) definitely does not have a virgin bride, let alone the wife of his youth, let alone a brainless Edward-Snowden stripper-concubine. Instead, presumably, he salves his slowly gnawing empty dread with vidya, porno, and—perhaps—the occasional prostie. Next year he’ll make GS-9.
