Freudian Parking

A woman parked downtown was putting quarters in the parking meter when I happened to walk by. She dropped a coin. To be nice, I bent over and picked the quarter up for her. “Here you go,” I smiled as I handed it to her. “Thanks,” she said. I noticed that she was quite pretty,Continue

Genetic Fallacy and Marriage

Despite the view of the universe that Parmenides held, change is possible, and it does happen. The world is in constant flux, and the institution of marriage is no exception.

I have a question, but not really an answer. I have been reading about cyber crimes, looking through old e-mails, and thinking back on a book, Sexuality and Homosexuality (by Arno Karlen, 1971) that I read several years ago. All of these thoughts have led me to this question: What is sex in today’s world?Continue

Women In Politics

In this entry, I share a few thoughts on women’s roles in politics. They are not entirely cogent, and the following paragraphs form some degree of cohesion. I read a few brief studies, which I summarize here. There is a paucity of research on women in the executive branch.  For one, it’s a branch thatContinue
