I'm a big believer in debate and difference of opinion.

Since Reagan, it's almost impossible to get funding for research on sexual pleasure. You can find sexual behavior research, but not sexual pleasure. And let alone lesbian or homosexual sexuality.

It is foolish for people to think they can align themselves and be safe in a police state.

Demographically, I'm a hippie from San Francisco and I'm not culturally inclined to be sympathetic to states' rights. My cultural heritage is FDR and Medicare and federal government solutions. But if you think through the analysis, strengthening state rights is a good corrective of the aggregation of an over-reaching federal power.

Historically, when a leader has deployed his own military against civilians, it's never been good. There's never been a time where it's ended well.

It is never smart, even in a strong democracy, to declare some debate off limits. In a weakening democracy it is catastrophic.

Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken.
