Supreme Court Justice and sexual rebel Antonin Scalia gave a http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=503540 last week. During the question and answer period, he offered a typically swingin' suggestion for a relaxed social life:

In summary, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia made a statement during a Q&A session last week, expressing his belief that sexual orgies can help eliminate social tensions and should be encouraged. This was seen as a surprising and uncharacteristic comment for the typically conservative Scalia, but it was later clarified that his words were taken out of context and he had actually been making a hypothetical argument. The article that initially reported his statement has since issued a correction.

Drat, the first version was so much better. Apparently the article misquoted him and the original statement was:
