Before and after

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Here comes another ‘vague and overly broad’ panic attack. This time its over a Massachusetts law regarding exploitation of the disabled or elderly.
The formula is quite predictable at this point. There is some horrific crime committed. Someone screams ‘there out to be a law’. Nobody notices there already IS a law. Some media whore politician [...]

What kinksters can learn from Mormons

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Danger looms near. There is a protest, or a propaganda piece, or some new legestation, that threatns to destroy sexual freedom. This has to be stoped! The call is out out to form a counter protest, or realese a statement of our own, or an urgent need to call your represinitive today to make sure [...]

kinky is not a diagnosis

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Its no secret that Im a rather vocal critic of the NCSF. Or at least the NCSF that has existed since the spring of 2002. The old NCSF I actually sorta liked. Though I could rattle off a list of every objection I have, the thing I want to specifically focus on for the moment [...]

But it has the word ‘netural’ in it. How can that be bad?

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

WARNING: If you know who Mystery Organization X is, please don’t post to the comment section. Like Glenda the Good Witch looking out after Dorthy, if you just TELL someone the answer, it wont do them any good. They have to learn for themselves.
So I heard someone ranting about ‘net neutrality’ recently. I would have [...]

….. a long way to go in overcoming homophobia

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Does the size of a crowd indicate the importance of the social movement?
An offhand comment I heard claimed that the crowd in DC to attend the Obama inauguration was not only the largest ever for the capital, but the largest gathering of people together at one spot ever in the history of the world. I [...]

Obama Inauguration Pig Sex Orgy

Monday, January 19th, 2009

The Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend has been canceled. News is still breaking and I haven’t fully read up on things but I needed to get down a few of my first impressions …..
First of all, it didn’t help any to advertise the thing as ‘Obama Inauguration Pig Sex Orgy’. The group mostly responsible for the shutdown [...]

Merry CHRISTMASS!

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Well, the christmass sales season over at kinkyropes is all wraped up now. It was a very big success overall but the thing Im most proud of is getting everyone to call it a ‘christmass’ sale instead of coping out with some lame ass PC crap like it being a ‘holoday sale’ or ‘winter festival’ [...]

and if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

So there is this funny little case going on here localy to me. This guy John Ondrik has to go before the zoning board because neighbors are complaining he is running a business in a resedental zone. But wait, there is a loophone in the law. A church is free to operate in a [...]

seperate but equal

Monday, October 13th, 2008

I have taken insults before abotu my support of civial unions. I just consider it a logical outgrowth of the seperation of church and state. The legal ‘goodie bag’ that is passed out to couples for signing a legal contract should not be confused with a sacrements of a church. As a friend pointed out [...]

unity

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

From time I see people floating the theory that such-and-such group needs to be formed in order to bring the entire BDSM community together in one big happy family. I wrote this over a year ago to use as a standard copy/paste in response to that. I place it here just so I can have [...]
