Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross

Carlin and I were discussing whether or not we should post the Atheist Bus again and we decided "Yes". After all, religion is what damages more people's sexuality than anything else on the planet.  

Ariane Sherine, the woman behind the Atheist Bus Campaign, has just announced that 800 buses - instead of the 30 they were initially aiming for - are now rolling out across the UK with the slogan, "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life", in locations all over England, Scotland and Wales, including Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, York, Cardiff, Devon, Leeds, Bristol and Aberdeen.

Thank you, Marty Klein, for the link.  Yet another teenager has been arrested on felony charges of assaulting other teens' eyes with a deadly weapon-nude pictures of herself.

This Ohio case is particularly smirky because the crime occurred immediately after a County prosecutor visited the kid's high school, warning students about the prison sentences awaiting them if they receive or send sexual images of classmates on their cell phones. In classic teen fashion, the girl apparently took the warning as a dare. Or perhaps she was just really aroused by the law enforcement presentation.

Women are the future. Always were and always will be. Michelle Goldberg has put out a new book, The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World about the global battle over reproductive rights, which pits feminists and family planning advocates against an international alliance of Christian, Mormon and Muslim religious fundamentalists.

To write it, she spent two years traveling the world, reporting on issues like population control, abortion, female circumcision, Asia's missing girls and Europe's birth dearth to show how the battle over women's bodies has been globalized.

And it's all because of female sexual energy and economic power. By 2019, 2/3s of America's wealthy will be women. Watch out world!

People are in for a lot of sex in the New Year - and the reason is, women's growing economic power. The power around the world will give them more choices, and one of those choices, apparently, will be to have more sex. The prediction is contained in The Futurist magazine which compiles the forecasts and predictions of assorted visionaries.

Perhaps that has some bearing on another forecast: "Americans may turn away from antidepressants." According to the anthropologist who made this prediction, the 100-million antidepressant prescriptions, Americans take "kill the sex drive" but many may quit taking them.

I twisted the lock on Xandra's door. I brought some new soywax candles this time, and she'd lit them before I came back from washing the vaginal barbell. I crossed the room to the bed and admired the almost six foot tall blond's size six naked figure. She rolled to her stomach. The subtle S-curve from her shoulders to the small of her back was breathtaking. However, not to be too overpowered by beauty, I took a moment to ground myself, then sat down next to her.

America needs to end our dependence on war which takes care of our dependencey on oil. Thank you Deepak Chopra:

You have been elected by the first anti-war constituency since 1952, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected after promising to end the Korean War. But ending a war isn't the same as bringing peace. America has been on a war footing since the day after Pearl Harbor, 67 years ago. We spend more on our military than the next 16 countries combined. If you have a vision of change that goes to the heart of this country's deep problems, ending our dependence on war is far more important than ending our dependency on foreign oil.

The most immediate changes are economic. Unless it can make as much money as war, peace doesn't stand a chance. Since aerospace and military technologies remain the United States' most destructive export, fostering wars around the world, what steps can we take to reverse that trend and build a peace-based economy?

Oh, Lola!  You'll get the second kiss ;)

More people will kiss their dog than another human when the New Year rolls in, according to a new poll.

Women are 4½ times as likely to spend New Year's Eve with a pet than men are. Democrats are more likely than Republicans to do so, according to the Zogby/Times Square New Year's Eve National Poll.

"We've discovered over the four years that we've been conducting this survey that people love seeing in the New Year with their pet," said Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance. "I guess it's that pure joy and unconditional optimism that animals have that people love to be around."
