My online bulletin board. A place to post things I find groovy, or to ask questions of the masses. Kinda like a flea market, you never really know what you'll find but on a good day you should find something interesting, if not also of value.

If these women could step, this is stepping way too far!

I like shoes, and for my feet to look a little smaller, but this is just wrong. And if you were wondering where much of the shoe-foot fetish thing came from make sure you read it. Here is the link again, just in case you didn't catch it two sentences ago

Let's get drunk and WALK

I don't usually link to news items, but this one deserves some attention.

Some may ask why I chose to comment on an issue that doesn't apply to me, especially when I so infrequently comment about any news article.

I remember, very clearly, the injustice of age discrimination. There is no good reason for anyone in this republic to be unfairly targeted because of something so petty as demographics. Furthermore, I find it abhorrent that *only* the ACLU will champion this cause. Where are their representatives?

The article clearly points out that this person was being targeted because they had attended a party earlier that night. Since when is partying illegal (?) or sleeping, being at home...it just goes on and on.

I know that I am rambling and this is disjunct. But invasion of privacy is disgusting no matter what the age of the victim is. This strikes me as another piece in a chaotic puzzle of control, divisiveness, and injustice that is all too pervasive right now.
