Supply and Demand in the World of Prostitution
Aug 28th
A Prostitute in Mexico
Prostitution is based on the law of supply and demand. The thinking is: Women won’t stop selling sex until men stop buying.
So Nashville and a growing number of cities are shifting their focus from locking up suppliers to educating buyers. Across the country, about 50 communities are using John Schools. Atlanta, Georgia, and Baltimore, Maryland, are among dozens more cities that plan to launch similar programs by the end of the year.[Full Article]
Apparently sex sells…you think?
There are so many problems with this issue that I am not even sure where to start, but let’s just More >
Teacher gets sued for saving school from bomber
Aug 26th
That’s probably what the headline is going to read a month from now. At least, that’s what I’m predicting given how litigious our society is. Here’s the background for you to judge for yourself.
SAN MATEO, Calif. — A teacher being hailed as a hero said Tuesday he had no time to think when he encountered a 17-year-old boy who detonated two pipe bombs at a Northern California high school while armed with a chain saw, sword and explosives.
Teacher Kennet Santana, 35, is one of a number of Hillsdale High School staffers credited with subduing the boy, who police say walked into More >
Fine Dining and Cats
Aug 23rd
On the 20th, David celebrated his 41st birthday. Actually he has been mildly celebrating the entire month of August, but the 20th is the real day in question.
Many months ago I had made plans for us to go see Cats at the Music Circus. He knew about it, no surprise there because I specifically asked if he wanted to go on his birthday evening. But for dinner we were having a hard time coming up with a brand new place to go.
We could have gone to any number of our favourite places – in whichever genre he was interested in, More >

Oh America…we have so many important issues to be resolved in our country. Health-care, equal rights, poverty / homelessness, abused children, H1N1, and apparently how short the First Lady’s shorts are.
Let’s call an urgent session of Congress and pass a law limiting shorts to 1″ above the knee! It’s a major world-wide crisis!
First the first lady got America talking about the right to bare arms. Now people are buzzing about whether it’s right for her to bare her legs.
During a recent family vacation to the Grand Canyon, Michelle Obama stepped off Air Force One in a pair More >
Baby Boomers are costing us bajillions
Aug 18th
Apparently it’s a health care crisis in the works (just when we were starting to make progress to be like the rest of the natural world). Look out world, the baby boomers are smoking pot even though they aren’t in college any more!
“This continued use poses medical risks to these individuals and is likely to put further strains on the nation’s health care system — highlighting the value of preventing drug use from ever starting.” [Article]
Blah, blah. It is interesting that the issue is more about the impact on our health-care system, when there is no proof that drugs like marijuana are More >
