I am dating myself to say this, but I remember the sexual revolution. It was great and I miss it dearly. But open relationships, non-monogamy, swinging, and one-night stands are now little more than fond memories for those of us who lived through the wild 70’s.
For my generation, sexual liberation was a given part of the cultural and political zeitgeist. Today, sex is under wraps like no time since Ozzie and Harriet. Attitudes have changed (for the worse, if you ask me), but the sexual needs of men remain the same as ever.
What’s a horny young male to do? Enter the pickup artist (PUA). Thank god.
PUAs are a response to a sexually conservatized culture: abstinence is being taught in public schools; religious fundamentalism runs rampant across the land.; people live in fear of sexually transmitted diseases. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Some say that PUAs attract (...)

If the President you trust, your elected official handed you a silver spoon with chocolate in it, but you found out later it was actually pudding mixed with feces. What would you do? Politics are messy and so are the lies often fed to us by our officials to justify certain legislative policies regarding price gouging of; mortgages, real estate, gas, oil and even food. Food, water and air, something all humans cannot live without.

Today we saw Shrek The Third; last week we saw Alvin & The Chipmunks; Next week is the Bee Movie!--and I'm anticipating the Bee Movie because I have a special connection with bees--yes, they crawl on my fingers and don't sting. When I was a little girl I had one bad sting, but it didn't cause me to be possessed with fear of bees--to the contrary; I adore, love, and totally respect them.

"A house without books is like a room without windows" --- Chinese Proverb
It would only be natural, I think, that a writer would also be a voracious reader. From a writer’s standpoint, it is a great way to “study” writing by examining the various techniques of many different writers. But as a human being, reading is also a way to open the windows to the world and to maybe see something that you never thought was there before. Reading is a great way to blow the cobwebs off your mind and let the world in. It has been said, according to various studies, that reading in America has been on a steady decline for decades.
