Hello Gerry! Both evolutionary biology and biological anthropology---if not with utter unanimity as disciplines, then at least with a powerful propensity---demonize step parents, whether by highlighting the feline habit of dispatching the young of groups that dominant males take over, or in presenting Snow White's travails, starving and neglected and left in the woods, as a human 'norm.' Given one set of adaptive techniques and character
A California friend said it well: "It's not like you can walk into CVS and say, 'I'm out of girlfriends,' and have them tell you, 'oh, no problem, they're on aisle five!'" Right! I'll take a two pack and one for the freezer. Nope, doesn't work like that. It's a two-to-a-team-tango deal, yes it is. On the other hand, if the Hindus are right, I would pay everything I've got to come back as a woman. Talk about having all the cards, unless y
Here! Here! Your biggest opponents, however, would be your corporate allies in the GOP, number one, and their allies, such as the House of Saud, who represent the financial continuity of 'terrorism', now that the CIA has partially withdrawn from the business. You make democratic suggestions; all democrats(small 'd', mind you)cannot help but agree.
Thanks Gerry! What struck me about the experience is how MATHEMATICAL and incontrivertible the 'proof' of the idea felt, as I realized that all I'd read in one anthropology course, and much of what I had heard otherwise about step-parenting would be impossible to maintain if other people grasped this at the same cellular level it was hitting me. It's still subjective, I suppose, but it feels axiomatic, you know what I mean? CFN,<

Gerry!! Writing and storytelling, implanted so deeply they permeate my nerve fibers, are at the core of whatever in the hell I am. I agree with Octavio Paz. "He sang! Singing not to remember his lying life of truths, but to remember his true life of lies." Thanks so much for scoping things out and keeping things going now and again. Ciao for now, Jimbo

WiseFawn! If anyone's story would be worth the investment to tell, yours would be the one. Thanks for being a reader. Keep me posted, thanks, and Ciao for now!!
The primary action the "U.S." would take---meaning the government on top of the people, over the people, against the people, as eternally fantasized by the cabal of crooks in charge now, not the Am erican people, who would just be stunned and furious---WOULD BE A CLAMPDOWN ON THE POPULATION HERE, INCLUDING MASS DETENTIONS, SUMMARY EXECUTIONS, ALL OF IT IN THE NAME OF SECURITY. Check out a roughly December "Atlantic Monthly" article that details Chene
Kudos again for bringing such excellent intelligence and data to us. Applying very conservative multipliers to the likelihood that such fluctuations, individually, would occur randomly, the aggregate odds for such coincidences must exceed 10,000 to 1. In other words, whoever was executing those options knew what was coming. In the abstract, of course, "evil-doers" might have been 'putting' and 'calling' up a storm. Were that the case, how

The right wing ignorance on this site, with plenty of spicy righteousness mixed in of course, probably shouldn't amaze me, but hey, I'm gullible. I figure people who say they want to understand history and meaning have actually taken a look at historical sequence and relationships, as well as contemplating all sorts of thinkers---not just Ayn Rand's gems and Irving Kristol's rants and Henry Kissinger's Machievellian strategies, but critics and opponen

You are a gushing fountain of refreshing(if depressing)information and data. Thank you. The bit on the National Press Club speech, near the end, is worth a film and a novel, as well as being a generally exemplary indictment of the current press cabal, that has the gall to try to continue to pass itself off as an actual 4th estate. Anyone who manages to get Marvin Cooley so thoroughly incensed has to be doing something right. Keep up the goo

Thank you Gerry! I overwrite. I love big words. But the stories I offer are generally interesting, plausibly important. And my heart is in the right place. I'd love to be able to sell my work, but to me the more important question is how we can read and tell stories that make the difficult situation of humanity now a little easier, how we can find a path toward something other than self immolation. Thanks for your kind words, ke
Yo John! Interesting inquiry. The history of immigration is a history of lies and deceit, as obvious and as utterly ignored by most people as any other area of life that has been subject to total hypocrisy and bullshit for as long as people could hear. What I mean to say is that those who have spoken out in favor of "limiting immigration" or "getting tough on immigration" or "locking down our borders" have either been complete morons, total
It's not a stretch at all, but I'd say, along with 90% or so of the rest of humanity, you could sure use some good loving. . Good luck!!

Well now Josiebabe. You sound like a nearly perfect woman to me. Lusty and crusty and mostly trusty--- . Check out my last posting, about "What Men Really Want." You might find it interesting. Relationships can't develop according to rules, only according to where the two people involved are in their lives, and where they're willing to go in order to grow, together or apart. Yo
Thank you for this well written and very thoughtful post. One of my favorite quotations neatly summarizes my initial position on the issue of morality, reason, religion, and all of that. "I am draw to those who seek the truth, but I flee from those who have found it." I carved an inscription in this hunk of wizard wood that found me in the forest one day: "Seek your truth, even though you can never find it, and recognize that the quickest
An interesting and generally excellent piece of work. Thank you very much. This expression of social networking, for purposes of hegemony, class domination, however one chooses to name the phenomena, is a clearly viable basis for understanding much of the way that policy and media happen in the world today. Soros is masterful, as are his 'opponents' at the Heritage Foundation who are his socio-economic mates, whatever the gradations in rhetoric and
This could be the premise for all kinds of literature and culture, eh? Everything from a Steven King style novel to a "Leave It to Beaver" remake with a twist. Oddly compelling, given all the nerdiness everywhere. Regret is one of the universals, isn't it?
What Is It That Men Worship, When They Kneel at the Altar of Woman PLUNGING HEADFIRST INTO A SYRUPY SOUP OF SEX AND TROUBLE From the mass media’s mellifluous whispers to the presumptions that issue from pulpit and pundit, the notion seems nearly universal that men express their sexuality with primitive, predatory, and severely circumscribed goals in
