The Ends and The Means
Anyone who has been following this blog for a long period of time should know of my fascination with the ends and the means of an action. When it comes to morality and ethics, I often question which one is more important in defining if an action is moral (if morality were to be/is universal, that is). I’d like to say that the end does not justify the means, that the consequences aren’t...

My boyfriend is reading the Communist Manifesto...
Ironically, my boyfriend is a big believer in classical liberalism (He basically knows Locke’s Second Treatise on Government like the back of his hand) and is a capitalist. They were supposed to pick an “ism” to do a report and project over, he was left with the two options of Liberalism or Communism and he picked Communism. This surprised many people, since his views...

socialismartnature:
Abortion rates are higher in countries where the procedure is illegal and nearly half of all abortions worldwide are unsafe, with the vast majority in developing countries, a new study concludes.
Experts couldn’t say whether more liberal laws led to fewer procedures, but said good access to birth control in those countries resulted in fewer unwanted pregnancies.

These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
I don’t think the list is in any particular order. Even if you...

It’s amazing how much misinformation is out there about the vagina, and the entire vulva in general. Given how fascinated our society is with the “female” body, you’d think we’d be a little more informed. But from what I discovered while soliciting questions for my book What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was...

My Math class showed their lack of knowledge when it came to politics and economics. Someone said “We should vote about if we should change the seating arrangement.” (They wanted to, the teachers didn’t want to). One of the teacher’s reply “This isn’t a democracy!” Then two or three kids (too many) reply from out of nowhere “Oh Communism!”...

Humanity as a whole are dependent upon another to live, yet how much? I am constantly given examples of need for human companionship, for survival and various other reasons; yet at the same time am confronted with feelings of constant need for self-reliance. I realize this may be very normal, yet dependence upon others doesn’t seem extremely rational except for the basis of survival. Maybe...

I feel bad for being white…too often when I look at certain tags. I’m all for the idea of equality in every sense of the word. I don’t generalize people based on their race, their gender, their age, their political views, their beliefs…I can go on. I recognize that I, in general, am privileged, I am white. But I am also a female, who loves people despite gender and I am not...
