Pit Bulls!.
I don't get it?
WHO is going to enforce said pit bull ban? We don't pay teachers enough let alone animal control. We dare not enforce a human breeding ban? How can you enforce a dog ban?
You can slow down the the sale and manufacturing of guns .... but can you stop the roaming dog wandering down the street ready to fuck anything in heat, perhaps the other pit bull in heat with shitty owners that didn't leash, spay, or neuter their pet.
While you are out banning breeds, why don't you try to sew Mrs. Dugger's breeding hole shut while you are at it ... I mean really ...
Am I taking crazy pills here?

SL Letter of the Day: More Advice for Couples Who Have Experienced a Miscarriage.
sorry needed to proof ... but as you a parent, if you really want a child, you have to come to terms with the pain of it all. If you can't, then maybe you shouldn't have children.
I know the hormones of pregnancy don't make it any easier still ... but if those are the cards, then those are the cards.
Hell, maybe if she is so paranoid about miscarriages ... maybe she should try a surrogate? tens of thousands of dollars, but a piece of mind.

I'm not saying it isn't painful and it doesn't suck!
Hell I know people who go through in vitro and surrogates to have children! They obviously really want them and are willing to put up billions of dollars.
Life isn't fair, and if you want somethings, it requires an element of pain!
And apparently going through 10 years of schooling, 6 of which is sniffing chemicals toxic for your gonads, and the odds of having miscarriages ... guess what.
No one told us this before we signed up for this job ... but now we are stuck with this reality.
Am I being insensitve ... not necessarily, but instead of pissing and moaning about life being unfair ... you have to ask yourself. How much do you want it? And if their experience of having a child is going to be an emotionally crippling waffle iron experiment ... so be it. But you as a want to parent have to come to terms with that and make that choice ... and if you can't hand the pain of it all ... maybe you shouldn't have children.

Dan I love your response ... but there might need to be a little more. This might be one of those situations where they might have to ask themselves how much they really WANT a baby.
At the end of grad school, a lot really scary miscarriages happen to former grad students of science. It's one of those things that I guess really tests the parents to desire to have a family. Some of these miscarriages involved the inducing of labor of 5 month old deceased pregnancies.
The rumors came around, but sooner or later .... I guess they all had happy families.
I guess it's just the cost of having a family in modern society.

What She Said: Digby on Viagra.
What always amazes me about medical research is this strange assumption that men are ALWAYS the greatest beneficiaries of most of the money for medical research.
I'm not finding that to be the case. I mean, take your mammogram. The doctor parks a woman up to this very big and expensive piece of equipment, while the proctologist, using only his finger .... determines what the deal is with your prostate.
Not to mention the hormone cocktails we give women for birth control, menopause,
And for the record, I feel that covering all these costs is a good thing.

I kind of have to agree, it's better for nonessential luxuries to be paid out of pocket. When medicare doesn't cover things like birth control and dare I say, unwanted pregnancy the whole world has to suffer.
Besides, the actual COST of Viagra will be minimal once the patent, research, and marketing fees are paid off. Hell, there was no research for erectile disfunction anyways. Most of greatest discoveries were made serendipitously. In the case of Viagra, looking for ways to get better blood circulation for older people.
(and seriously ... doesn't Viagra market itself?)
Anyways, I'm off to see the recruiter doing what perhaps "god" intended for me. Work like a slave and come up with more chemical products so the rest of the world can fuck wrecklessly and MAYBE not burn through our natural resources.
Take the Loveschild.

Do Guys Make Passes At Girls Who Wear....
Of course, as part of dinner conversation during the date, one can point to your jewelry and say ..
there, THERE is the clitoris. Any questions?
And then follow up by showing the proper motions and placement to do that job. Preference for direct clit, or hood on clit stimulation, etc. etc.

It's not the vulva that's beautiful so much as the person it's attached to ...
I like pussy just as much as the next straight man ...
but at the end of the day, genitalia, male and female, is just WEIRD. I enjoy it's function more than anything. Call me old fashion, but it's a woman's figure and shape that does it for me ... and hopefully there won't be any shemale surprises ...
