PS- When I encountered the first case, a light bulb went off. That's why Leviticus forbids sex with animals, which I had thought ridiculous. Obviously few laws a made for what people never do.

Re: ANEMOPHILOUS
Getting back to the love of wind, may I suggest that the previous post wishing to find a way to apply this one to politicians is a bit off the mark.
Anemophilous means loving the wind, whereas it is generally the politicians who provide the wind. Anemophilous should be used to refer to the blowhards' followers.
