It's generally excepted, that when away from for an extended period from the population from which one would generally select their lovers, that all bets are off. Prison would certainly be an example…or perhaps the navy. San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century would also be able to stake it's [...]
Fear is at the root of man's destruction of himself. Without Fear there is no blame. Without blame there is no conflict. Without conflict there is no destruction. But there IS Fear: deep within the core of every human being it lurks like a monster, dark and intangible. Its outward effects are unmistakable. Its source [...]
'Tis the season, mädchen und jungen, to peruse the list of St. Nicholas, and determine just who has been good and who has been naughty. If you have truly been good, do not worry. But if you have torn the wings off of flies, or pulled the whiskers of a cat for the sheer fun [...]

While drowning in the oceans of sickly sweet platitudes and musings on the 10 year anniversary of the September attacks I can't help but remember the inane question asked time and again a decade back: "Why do they hate us?". This was hardly a new question, nor the first generation to ask it. In 1953 [...]
Tender women, you ablaze with love's fire, compensate yourselves now, and do so boldly and unafraid; persuade yourselves that there can exist no evil in obedience to Nature's promptings, that it is not for one man she created you, but to please them all, without discrimination. Let no anxiety inhibit you. Imitate the Greek republicans; [...]

Nothing stokes the ratings like a good blood feud, and the Muslims and Hindus of South Asia are at the center of one of the better. With its roots in the horrific Muslim expansion into India kicked off by the Umayyad Caliphate jihad in 711 C.E., the conflict has raged for some 1300 years. The [...]
During the mid 1950's William Burroughs wrote to Allen Ginsberg from Tangier, Morrocco regarding his experiences with liquid oxycodone.

The story of Osho—master, mystic, madman… "Trying to define Osho is like trying to imprison a rainbow or catch a cloud that's floating through your room. Like sand, he slips through your fingers: like a sparkling drops of dew, his magic vanishes with the rising sun of definition. Samuel Johnson, in his Preface to Shakespeare, [...]
(Excerpts from On the Philosophy of the Superman) If we must "speak well of the dead or say nothing at all," in this case it is preferable to observe a respectful silence rather than obscure the social significance of the deceased by a flood of unctuous praise devoid of meaning. We can [...]
