Quote of the day:
I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

Politics, politics, politics
Gay rights are anti-Christian bigotry. Who knew? I love--for the value of love that means hate with white hot hatred of a thousand burning suns--how they assume gays aren't Christians. I may think gay Christians are as delusional as gay Republicans, and for the same reason--trying to be a part of something that despises them--but I know a number.
Not sure if this is politics or misogyny. Wait, it's both! Primary source footage of Santorum wanting to ban ALL birth control.
Perry would put us back into Iraq, to keep Iran out of it.
The Wrong Ideas. Are the Republicans campaigning on the wrong talking points? Do they even realize how out of touch they are?
Apparently not. The GOP War on Sex. This is WHY I speak up for contraception, same-sex rights, polyamory/polygamy and other stuff. This is why i try busting the concept of morality at every turn, and suggest instead a sexual ethic of two parts: enthusiastic consent and honoring your commitments, to yourself and others.
Out of touch AND tone-deaf to their own racism. Food stamps vs. paychecks. The GOP loses the black vote right here. Again, i love--white hot hatred--how they think the concepts are at odds with each other. These are not people who have worked three jobs, gotten food stamps and STILL gone hungry. Remember, racism is a feature, not a bug, as are the misogyny and homophobia. And this is not new. It's why I was republican in my 20s and 30s.

Crime and punishment
Advice for avoiding rape. In the spirit of Golda Meir.

Sex Positive:
Female Sexual anatomy and response. There are diagrams. This is great for those who own female genitals, those who love people with female genitals and those who write about sex with people with female genitals.
The Clitoral Hug. 8000 nerve endings...and no purpose other than pleasure. Also, this should end clitoral vs. vaginal orgasm debates.

School daze
Finland has the best schools in the world. Why? No private schools. No standardized tests. And the goal is not excellence. It's equality of opportunity--each child should have exactly the same opportunity to learn, regardless of family background, income, or geographic location.
~~~
And if that sounds a bit absurd, consider 5 absurd solutions to huge problems...that aciually worked.
