Media
response to Max Joseph, Don C, Jon Miller, and Cameron Cohen's post Internet Porn
I'm tired of the MORAL argument of whether porn is GOOD or BAD. If people willing participate, it's a sport or an art in my opinion and you can enjoy watching it if you keep it in context in your life. Internet porn should be defined as a tool. And like any tool, or hobby, or substance, or habit, it can be abused by the people who use it. If someone is constantly seeking solace in it over interacting with you as a partner, then there is a problem with him/her or you or the relationship that needs to be addressed. If you as a partner in the relationship cannot accept the other's behaviors/tastes you need to talk and make clear what your boundaries/expectations are.
However, there is a POLITICAL aspect to it that people never seem to discuss...MOST people are forced to participate in it due to socio-economic desperation.
People (overwhelmingly female) who are desperately poor, drug addicted, single moms, living in a third world/eastern bloc countrie. I champion people like Jenna Jameson who willingly participate and control their own careers, but people like that are rare.
We still live in such a repressed, giggling, "sneaking around" society when it comes to sex...which is why the ploy of adding that element to a marketing campaign still seems to have an effect. I think we really make too much of a big deal about it anymore. All the controversy and talk just seems to spur on the interest. I think the expectations get raised too high and often sex is just overrated.

response to Justin Droms's post Cold Turkey
Good job--that really took some guts. If we were friends, though, I could have helped you out and easily saved you from a lot of pain. I am about 80% vegan, consume a small amount of dairy every day and fish about once a week. it's really about health more than morals for me. But I know what tastes good and what doesn't, so I could have saved you from some of that scary vegan mayonnaise! :-)

I want to learn more about Barack Obama. Can anyone recommend a good book covering his life and career? Thanks!

The dessert tasting menu at Providence in LA is definitely a must! It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.
