well, if it's not in a rough terrain, then it's extremely inefficient as well as irresponsible. I know people who drive their suvs to the gym... 6 blocks from their house.

your post made me think of some of Allen Ginsberg's works; check out "America" and "A Supermarket in California"... I think you'll find it interesting because he laments the modern America of the 50s.

Reply to Promiscuity does NOT equal independence. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Okay Ladies, a question: just how much did magazines like Cosmo really teach you about sex? I seen groups of 16 year old girls giggling over articles on buses etc., but don't imagine they're actually taking the articles practicing the suggested techniques. Or perhaps I'm being niave. yeah, I admit I use

Reply to Promiscuity does NOT equal independence. in Misc JoeUser Forums

it makes me think of some shallow manual for a sorority in a waspy, carefully sheltered college. it seems to gives advice in the magazine how to feel 21 forever, complete with exercise tips, botox reviews, and oblivion with how the world really operates. one of the worst parts is that it makes the readers assume that all men are the stereotypical fratboy.

Refine your argument by investigating the super-shady collaboration of DuPont, Hearst, and Mellon in the 1930s. You're on the right track...I can't really remember the details off the top of my head, but having hemp in the market competed with lumber industry that Hearst had lots of money in for wood pulp for paper, so he provided the public with lots of propaganda about the plant, and renaming it marijuana

I'm going on vacation with my family next week for 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone who lives there or has spent enough time there can recommend places to eat/shop, galleries, activities, etc, that won't be on a tourist guide. Also, does anyone know much about the local music scene? I'm not sure where we'll be in Queb

Reply to History's beauties-Cleopatra, Monalisa, Helen of Troy etc. in History JoeUser Forums

Well, they say that symmetry is a universal perception of beauty. With Cleopatra, judging from a picture of her on an old coin, she certainly was not an Elizabeth Taylor look-alike. With all of the hollywood starlets, you chose those who were type-casted as, well, the beautiful women that they were. Not just that, but that a certain look brought on a certain type of character, and vice-versa (I visualize the style of hair, clothes, etc). As far as

My boyfriend's roommate's cat, Rekki, looks just like Rupert (wish I had a pic!), and he's the sneakiest pet I know-- just the other day, I watched him as he peered over at a plate of sushi that my bf had on a table. Seeing a pack of cigarettes on the opposite side, he smacked it to the floor. My bf was gullible enough to pick it up and put back in the same spot. This happened three times, with Rekki creep

The KKK is a nasty racist organization even today. But they're not terrorists today. They are a white supremacy group just like the NAACP has become a black supremacy group. A supremacy group? No matter how powerful of a lobbying group that it is, the de

Given the plethora of questionable tactics that helped GWB beat McCain ("would you be less likely to vote for John McCain if you knew that he illegimately fathered a black child?

Of course, i think blaming Coca-Cola for *Union* issues is a bit of a stretch. If you refuse to see Coke's *collaboration* with paramilitary terrorists and unionbusters, then please understand that inaction says as much about the company as action.

Make a list of all the attributes and responsibilities that are important in a first lady. Now cross out the least important. Next, cross out the second least important, etc. Which one do you wind up with last? For myself, poised or polished didn't cut it. I don't mean to discredit your opinion, I just want to put it in a different perspective.

He asked her about "Un-American Activities". Yes, it may seem trite, but it is crucial for the respect and credibility of someone who considers him/herself a journalist to not misquote someone. True, it was not politically savvy to say "shove it", but given how inappropriate his comment was, he might as well have been a member of the paprazzi.

Thanks for the link, it is interesting. As for historical fiction, I just finished reading Foucault's Pendulum , by Umberto Eco. There's so many references to different places, people, and events in history that your head is spinning and you need to put down the book every chapter and research them. Eco manages to string everything together to speculate connections between the most seemly different subjects/people/etc (I haven't read any Dan B
