Hallelujah, I thought! We have a thinker here, or at least his wife! But then reading through some more of Belle’s material it became clear that while he wrote the line, he has no fundamental understanding of what it means.
It seems to be a pretty good solution for the Army. Riordan will be right there in the base camp on stand-by, ready to pick up his M-16 and go as soon as the doc scribbles his say so. That is, if a sniper doesn’t take him out while he is in therapy.
Polanski’s real crime, as I shall explain, is not rape, but contempt for The Law. In the government’s zeal to keep this case open after more than 30 years, everyone involved except the presiding judge, now dead, has been adversely affected, and virtually all of them wish for it to end.
There are people that will react to this with outrage and indignation. “How could you?” they will demand, “How could you let someone walk when the evidence shows you that they have committed something as heinous as rape?!”
And the same people, after reading account after account of innocent men being imprisoned, raped, tortured; destroyed, on lies, will reveal the utter depravity of their indifference by refusing to face what is happening or acknowledge that it even matters.
Apparently, Sam Harris is “feared by the pious” and “adored by secularists.” Ooooo. As a former pious individual, I’m so, so scared. I occasionally defend the pious in spite of my current lack of faith. I can’t ever imagine that I’ll defend Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris is a scientist. Guess what? So am I. What …

It is, just as the story said, an epidemic problem, and clearly not just with the women making the allegations.
(Paul’s note: I have been working with Factory for some time on the conversion of MRm! Magazine to MenZ Magazine. Well, actually, I have talked a lot and he has done all the work. I suggested he run the editorial letter from the new issue, which you can now download directly from the sidebar on …
Perhaps there was a time when the fake power of manhood worked. Hell, it got us to the moon when I was 12 years old. But we live in a different world than when I was 12.
“I know I doan make a dime what she don’t spend right away. Sometime she spend it on some other guy. But I can’t help it. Every time she call my name I got to come runnin’. Lord never made a bigger fool than me.”
I am one of the fortunate few. My parents stayed together through it all. They still live in the house where I grew up. I can’t tell you what it means to me to be able to go back there for visits, and be surrounded by everything familiar. It will always be my home. It …
