The Path Appears

So, there was an excellent program on PBS exploring sex trafficking here in the United States.  I see attitudes changing in a lot of people about this subject.  New Wave Feminism aside, I just don't see normalization/legalization of prostitution happening too soon.  Uh, let's try sex robots first.

First we have to break the narcotics/incest sexual abuse linkage first.  This is deplorable, and should be an American priority.  This is just another disgusting spin-off of the utter darkness of pure Capitalism.

Watch this program, A Path Appears, now and learn about why that woman sitting at the bus stop looking overly tired really needs your help.

It's not about Pretty Woman



It's just, once again, another form of slavery here in America.  Welcome to reality, because it is hard, cold and unrelenting -- with this subject matter.  When Ashley Judd said "maelstrom" in this documentary piece she was not kidding around.

President said 'transgender'

Yea!!!  And he said, "lesbian".   But that wasn't the first time.  Thank you Mr. President.  I am not transgender, but I've fought for the rights of transgender youth and adults. Hello. Laverne Cox, Janet Mock.  :D  I do sometimes find myself gender challenged.  I am lesbian who identifies as woman, yet I love to cross gender lines in the way I dress rather queerly, simply because the clothes are more colorful or well-made.  Hello Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Allergic to Lace, Inc., etc.   :)  :D

I loved the President's SOTU last night.  The dude indeed still possesses swagger.  I love him even more today than I did yesterday!  Go Obama!  You ain't seen nothin' yet!

And what do Republicans have to offer?  Joni Ernst and bread basket shoes and John Boehner's liquor set.  Whatever that is.

God, I feel another deadly chill again . . .

Murder, terror, horror . . . what else is news.  Ugly attacks on free press again today in Paris, France.  Terror-horror. This time it is a massacre of a satirical magazine's finest talent.  One would say someone (?) has no sense of humor, nor do they have any tolerance for the non-religious among us. 

To me, religious fanaticism is in need of some medication.  Seriously.  Either throw them in a rubber room or shut them up for good.  This is insane.  From The Guardian:

A huge manhunt is under way in Paris for three masked and hooded men armed with a Kalashnikov and a shotgun who stormed the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people – including two policemen – before escaping in a car.

Visiting the scene of the country’s worst atrocity in decades, the French president, François Hollande, described it as “a terrorist attack, without a doubt”. Hollande said the assault, which happened at about 11.30am on Wednesday after the magazine’s staff had gathered for their weekly editorial meeting, was “an act of exceptional barbarism”.

Warning that several other attacks had been foiled in recent weeks, the president called for national unity and convened an emergency cabinet meeting. The French government raised the terror alert level in the greater Paris region to the highest level possible.

Five of the victims have been named, including four Charlie Hebdo journalists: editor Stéphane Charbonnier and cartoonists Jean Cabut, Georges Wolinski and Bernard Verlhac. AFP reported that Bernard Maris, an economist and writer who contributed to the magazine, was also killed.

Needless to say, in solidarity with all freedom of speech around the world and back again. #JeSuisCharlie
