Most women really respect a man who is super intelligent. That's why coltrane gets so much attention.

I prefer uber intelligent. With an umlaut.

3. In the grand scheme of things, it all really doesn't mean shit. And it probably won't affect me in any way. Fuck details and give me a kayak, right Bilmore?

Poltics is the following:

(a) boring
(b) annoying as a bar conversation
(c) similar to sports, in which people just want a team to root for (except the fans are bigger dorks)

I like it best when Congress treads water. I prefer that over the whole "Heart of Darkness" aggregate power scenario (for either side). Our founding fathers were brilliant. They understood that normal people go apeshit when given too much control, so they basically ensured that it won't happen. Thus, not much really changes. Power sways back and forth, small changes to law are made, but our government basically just spins its wheels and makes a lot of noise. Kind of like a really loud fart that doesn't smell.

You are Mr Man.

I'd have to add (d) however:

(d) annoying as bulletin board posting material because no one is ever going to persuade someone anonymously to change their political stance

What happened to Ty? Did he read a Slave post and have his head explode or has he replaced us with his blogger friends?

And you can't say with a straight face that giving free birth control to people and REALLY educating kids about sex wouldn't preclude many unwanted pregnancies. Why? Because we've never tried it! We;ve never honestly discussed sex with kids because every time we try, some douchebag politician from 1000 miles away with a constituancy of inbred bible thumpers throws a hissy fit and scuttles the legislation.

Teaching abstinence is great, but only teaching abstinence is criminally negligent.

I'm not talking about teaching abstinence. I'm talking about real, honest to god sex education. We were required to take a full semester of it. Abstinence was not even mentioned.

It just sucks because although he is an odd looking kind of guy, he grew on me and I ended up feeling hot for him and he also did nice things. I'm wondering if I should let him cool down for a while more and then call him and say "come on; don't be silly". The only thing that stops me is looking back at some of his emails (like the one below -- note that his job is in management/tech, not art) and then I think, "Maybe you should leave this thing alone". Well anyway, thanks for the thoughts and humor. For some reason, this one really shook me up and saddened me. I hate to say it, but I miss him (though not the wingnut stuff).

You soon may see that my brain is overloaded in the right hemisphere, and is somewhat hurting on the left side! I am better at conceptual thinking than I am at logical. I can take apart poetry but I'm not good at 2 plus 2. My head is partly "always" in the clouds and I think I carry that "artists brain" thing--not the "self-destructive crazy artist thing", but one who needs to make sure that at least one foot is firmly on the ground at all times. (I have a wickedly interesting story about my arrival home from 2 months in Tibet, my last excursion to Asia. I'm very sure the universe gave me my lesson of a lifetime and it was not from who I expected it would be from.) I'm not sure if it's the type of places and lands I've visited, or the things I'm interested in reading, but I remain very captured by our lives relative to why we're here, and what our purpose is. When I see things, I tend to see them in a bigger picture....not just the literal, but the metaphorical. I'm a big believer in the idea that things happen for reasons, and I rarely think things are so random and coincidental (Carl Young's synchronicity--and hey, a great Police Pop CD--- Synchronicity, remember it from the 80's?) "we are, we are, spirits in the material world" I think my more recent aloofness was in part hesitation because in many aspects we are very different and I was not sure where to go, but I also think in the most important aspects, we are similar. (I love that you are a do-er and an action person----you are much more accomplished in this area than I). I suspect you are more pragmatic and practical--which is very positive. Ok, enough for now. Please, email is not your medium, so don't worry about replying to so many thoughts. Just store them away so we can talk about them sometime. We'll, back to work. First a quote from a performance artist Laurie Anderson..... "There is another world, spinning, inside of this one."

God, how did she ever even consider fucking that douchebag? The guy shook when he kissed, quoted Sting and beleived Michale Moore movies were totally accurate? She must've been desperate... just out of ten years in bull dyke women's prison desperate.

Don't give up. You could still rely on your body of existing work expressing disillusionment with the Republican establishment, and considering Independenthood. America loves a reformed sinner!

That sheds more light. i apologize- it wasn't breast size. You didn't give him oral much- right?

I didn't read the entire thing, but are you pointing to this:

In 2000, 21 out of every 1,000 women of reproductive age had an abortion. Women who are aged 18-29, unmarried, black or Hispanic, or economically disadvantaged—including those on Medicaid—have higher abortion rates. The overall abortion rate decreased by 11% between 1994 and 2000. The decline was greatest for 15-17-year-olds, women in the highest income category, those with college degrees and those with no religious affiliation. Abortion rates for women with incomes below 200% of poverty and for women with Medicaid coverage increased between 1994 and 2000. The rate of decline in abortion among black and Hispanic adolescents was lower than that among white adolescents, and the abortion rate among poor teenagers increased substantially.

Back away. This guy is a complete freak. You'll be happy you did.

Can you put in a good word for me?

I know email doesn't give a full picture of a person, but blah blahdey blah blah blah blahdey blah, what a fucking narcicisst. You're probably saddened by the fact that someone so unworthy dumped you first over something so wacky. Don't feel bad, that happened to me once, by this dorky guy with enormous ears. I still get the shivers thinking about it.

P.S. It's not twue what they say about men with big ears.
