This is a cold cold world. I find it amazing that there is little sense of community. Especially here in Florida with all of the gated communities and barriers that folks put up. But once in a while you can strike up a friendly conversation. Once in a while. But most folks really don't like to venture outside of their social circle. By the way, I don't live in a gated community. I am just a regular guy trying to make it from check to check like most folks.

It seems to me that the Arab oil wealth only goes to a few families and the average Arab guy on the street sees none of it. Do the Arab leaders scape goat the Jews in order to deflect attention away from themselves? Is this why Al Quida want's to only teach the Koran in school so that the people stay too dumb to relize their own people are stealing the countries wealth away from them?

For me, I think it's crucial to understand the story of our ancestors and how society and culture have developed. I think some people are turned off by history because it hasn't been presented to them in an effective manner. One of my history professors once said, "We need desperately to learn about far away places with strange-sounding names". I think that's true even for those places of yesteryear. History isn't about dates and trivia, but about mistakes and success and it's about the equivialent of people like you and I who lived long ago. More importantly, it's about understanding. So much ignorance, hatred, and fear is present in people today because they barely understand themselves.

Me and a friend were talking and he make the remark that women are built different than they were 10-15 years ago. Remark came from looking at some old Playboy books and comparing the women then to the women now. Upon thinking about this, I wondered if women are built different or if the preception of shape was just different and therefore women are photographed according to that. And if they are built different, what has caused this.

Now before you start slamming me, this is not meant as an attack on conservatives. Okay? Let's get that out of the way.

In the mid-1800s progressives put forth the idea that people regardless of color should not be used as slaves. Conservatives fought against it, and are now the villains of history.

In the early part of the 20th century women fought for the right to vote. Social conservatives fought against it. Women won the right, and their opponents were vilified by history.

In the 1960s and beyond, blacks fought for the rights to vote and to inter-marry with whites. Conservatives fought against it. They are now seen as narrow-minded bigots.

So here's the question: When history has shown us that the American people won't stand for denial of the rights of others based on arbitrary delineators such as race or sex, why do conservatives continue to stand in the way of the progress of equal freedom for all?

Our current example is of course the rights of gays to marry.

Imagine that you could be immortal by having your aging stoppped at whatever point you wished and being made immune to all disease. But if you did, you'd also have to be sterilized because eternally youthful people would probably make too many babies and overpopulate the planet. Would you choose sterile immortality or continue as a mortal with the ability to reproduce? Personally, I'd choose immortality, which I think would largely defeat the purpose of reproduction. What would you do?

Unless a man needs the truck for work, we have come to believe that certain men seem to compensate - the smaller the penis (in many cases the smaller the man) the larger the pick-up truck (extra large tires, special tail pipe). Any truth to that ? No, this is not a discussion about penis size (who cares), but a sociological experiment.

I don't know about Spain and South America though (because of the gipsy kings ^^)
