And this idea about "getting off welfare". I think society would far more tolerate the socialism of a welfare state to a state of unbridled capitalism where woman are forced to sell their bodies in order to survive. I think when people talk about "getting off welfare" they envision a woman getting a...

But aside from the health concerns I think the real abhorance to prostitution results from the superficiality of the relationship. In a normal relationship a man courts a woman, a woman falls in love with him and a sexual relationship occurs before or after marriage and love is offered as a free gif...

Also most states have laws allowing minors as young as 14 to have sex with adults if they are married which of course means minors must first get parental consent in order to get a marriage license.

Besides the moral implications the reason why prostitution is illegal is because it increases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases so it cannot be argued that it is a victimless crime.

Of course there is a lot of incest even in the Old Testament. Adam married his daughter by means of asexual reproduction. The children of Adam and Eve had to commit incest in order to reproduce. Only when the genetic code became corrupted were incest laws introduced. And even then Abraham married hi...

I think autistics can contemplate the taboo more than the NT individual. For example as a child I raised the question on whether or not cousins could marry each other. Yes it is perfectly legal to marry your cousin but it is always shocking according to the "Jerry Springer Show." Years ago I would w...

When people first began to eat meat the practice was so barbaric that it would make any normal person want to throw up. But now the practice is so mainstream that people think it is normal to eat meat.

But how far can the war on drugs go? A job was offered to me to build a Drug Enforcement Agency office. Not only would I have to take a drug test but I could not have any prescription drugs on my person or in my car. I happen to take blood pressure medicine but there are no exceptions to the rule. O...

Even the unmanned mission that Adam liked to always talk about was very controversial. Although not powered by atomic bombs the Saturn Cassini mission did have a nuclear isotope power generator that contained enough plutonium that could have caused serious contamination if the rocket launch failed. ...

As modern technology becomes more advanced and we have to deal with the problems of global warming, nuclear power disasters and issues of war and peace it will be imperative to our survival to contemplate resolving these problems by thinking outside of the box. Yet social constraints prevent us from...

Well talking about the romanting aspects of the movie and exagerrating it as a source of inspiration for my own novel. Can you imagine nuclear astronaut Adam having a romantic relationship with a Doctor who is an environmentalist and talking about lighting off atomic bombs in the Earth's atmosphere ...

I think it is time for a radical paradigm shift. Certainly autistic individuals can benefit from treatment but the treatment does not necessarilly have to change who they are. Rather treatments help them interact socially with the world. In the future virtual reality therapy will help autistic peopl...

I think that conforming to social rules is trying to be someone that you are not. People will see into this and the result will ultimately be a failure. I believe that you can get your point across with some success using diplomacy but sometimes I annoy people no matter how diplomatic I try to be be...

One has to remember that Albert Einstien could very well have had Autism. But what this means is not only did Einstein make his achievement in spite of Autism but rather it was because of his Autism that Einstein found git of genius. This is according to the book "Genius Genes", written by a renowne...

The movie Adam reminds me a lot of myself, and my daughter who is a psychologist agrees because she gave me the movie. But I am a lot worse than Adam. Like Adam I share my interest about space travel to Saturn with people who are not very interested. But I quickly explain to my audience that any man...
