On Heredity
Paula said, "All men are bastards!"
I said, "That's because we only have our mother's word for who our fathers may have been."

On Birth Control
We now have universally available methods of birth control. So, Sex should be as friendly and without hang-ups as shaking hands. But, some primitive peoples (Christians, Muslims, and Mormons among others) still see women as chattels and property, read slaves. This is unfortunate as slavery has been outlawed for more than a hundred years except, of course, where it might conflict with some 'religous right' or 'family value'.
The surprising part is the women in these benighted simpleminded tribes go along with this silly shit.

On the Treatment of Service Personnel
Had some abdominal surgery last week. Once more it was brought home to me how important a cheerful attitude can be.
Because of my welcoming and co-operative attitude the nursing staff and the food delivery folks had a party in my room on each visit. Down the hall the moaners and whiners got the least attention that could be spared.
Never piss-off the people who are in charge of your health care or your food preparation.

On Being Dicisionally Impaired
The right wing Republican appointed Supreme Court is on the verge of saying it's unconstitutional to require citizens to buy health insurance. The right wing Republican House is considering a bill to require senior citizens to use vouchers to buy health insurance. Is this a case of the left face not knowing what the right face is talking about?

On fashion
Saw a young woman the other day. She was the archetypal modern woman; everything below her eyebrows shaved, the Chinese character for soup tattooed on her ass and the seven basic required piercings: both ears, both nipples, her navel, her clit and her tongue. Every inch the height of fashion.

On Life after Death
I was dead for 14 billion years before I was born. I'll be alive for a few minutes. I'll make an emotional connection with a few people, a couple of dogs and a cat or two. Then back to where I came from. If that's some dusty beauracratic office awaiting reincarnation or disassociated energy dispursed in a cold universe makes little difference; I won't remember any of this just as I don't remember any thing that came before.

On Reality
Sensei: What is the opposite of white?
Student: Black.
Sensei: No. Yolk is the opposite of White.

Sensei: What is the opposite of white?
Student (brightly): Yolk.
Sensei: No, the opposite of white is African-American. The nature of reality is always changing.
Just because you think you understand the question does not mean you know the answer.
