Keillor in ‘94: ‘A World in Which There Is No Sexual Harassment at All Is a World in Which There Will Not Be Any Flirtation’

KEILLOR: "When scandal breaks and we get to see the humanity of the great and powerful revealed, naked and dumb, in front of us, there's always a cry for new rules or at least some new awareness that will prevent this from ever happening again. We should be careful though not to make the world so fine and good that you and I can't enjoy living in it. A world in which there is no sexual harassment at all is a world in which there will not be any flirtation. A world without thieves at all will not have entrepreneurs. A government in which there are no friendly connections or favors between politicians and powerful people would be the first in the history of mankind. And a world without fiction, my friends, would be unbearable for all of us."
