I recently watched a lecture by Steven Levitt (auther of Freakonomics) that gave a fairly convincing argument on why putitng children in car seats is a bad idea. As he points out in his lecture, many people are unhappy with this idea. Especialy car seat manfacturers.

His theory on why there is so much restance to this idea is because of a ‘bells and whistles’ mindset. The larger, more complex, and more expensive the solution will be the one favored by people. “why go through all this rigermaroll” they ask themselves “unless there was a huge benifit at the end?” I would argue that its actualy the simpler solution people go fo, not the more complex one. but the simplicity would be in education, not in actual action.

Safety education relies on quick, easy to explain, precautions. Danger : car crash. Precaution: carseats. We use this formula whenever there is a danger springing up. Danger : motercycle crashes. Precaution : helmets. Danger : food born bacteria Precaution: cook to a certian tempature. Danger: sexual transmited desease. Precaution : use a condom.

For kinksters the list is ever longer. Danger : electrical play. Precaution : dont play above the waist. Danger : bondage. Precaution : EMT sissors. Danger : Wax. Precaution : hold candel high. Danger : nipple clamps. Precaution : ten minute time limit. Of corse none of these are nearly that simple. There are forms of electrical play that can be done below the waist that still stops the heart and forms of electrical play done on the chest that are perfectly safe. There are situations where cutting away bondage actualy increases the risk of injury.

There are sexual transmited deseases where a condom, even a properly used condom, has no change at all in the risk of transmition. Do you know what one it is? Or do you just blindly folow along the path of ‘use condom = less risk’?

An over dependence on these precautions can actualy lead to more danger. If you rely on them totaly you will get complacent and think your in the clear when your actualy not. When the first reports of mad cow desease came to light, the danger was scofed at. “Yeah yeah, just tell us what tempature to cook the meat to so we can be safe.” A liftime of fighting salmanaila by cooking and e coli by cooking had left the population unparpared to a desease (mad cow isnt a desease, its a chemical) that couldent be brushed aside by folowing a spicific set of cooking instructions.

Danger : meeting stranger over the net. Precaution : set up a safecall when you first meet ….. Taylor Summers had a safecall. Lot of good it did her.

The best path to safety is to educate yourself. Become aware. If you want to avoid car crashes, then paying attention to your suroundings and defensive driving habits do a heck of a lot more good than growing dependent on car seats. If you want to avoid sexual transmited deseases, a relationship of trust and honesty with your partner does a heck of a lot more good than growing dependent on condoms.

Danger : tyranny. Precaution : vote.

Please dont grow complaciant and think that if your folowing the quick and simple precaution that your totaly free from any danger.

So there is this funny little case going on here localy to me. This guy John Ondrik has to go before the zoning board because neighbors are complaining he is running a business in a resedental zone. But wait, there is a loophone in the law. A church is free to operate in a resedental zone, so all he has to do is to prove that his ‘home based business’ is actualy not a business at all but a church.

The catch? the ‘business’ is a swingers club.

So lets join in with our pal John Ondrik as he attempts to convince people that it realy is honest injun cross my heart hope to die actualy a church.

Well to begin with, the fee for atending is a flat rate per couple, with single males being charged more and single women getting in free. His comeback : All churches take donations, whats wrong with that?

Church serves usualy are held latenights on the weekends. But hey, church services are usualy on the weekend so whats the big deal?

You are carded at the front door and have to be 21 or older to attend. Why there is nothing sexual about that at all. Its just that the teaching and doctrine of the faith are so complex that he feels only mature adults would be able to understand the holy teachings.

And speaking of teachings, what are the doctrines of faith of this church anyway? His answer is simple. They ‘worship nature’.

Not so fast, the church has a website. On it they will ordane anybody as a minister to run their own church as they see fit all by sending in a fee and clicking on an ‘Ordane me’ button. But he insistes the ordnation he has is serious and not just a scam in order to take advantage of the legal loophole.

But isnt it strange that he got his ordination just about the same time that the legal trouble over zoning started? And what about his aplication for non-profit status that is currently going through the paperwork. If he actualy were a church wouldent he have taken care of all that long before this zoning issue started? Why no! He just procrastinated is all.

Also turns out that there are swingers who have spoken to the media who confirm that when they went to his place for swinging parties. Im not sure what his rationalization for that one is.

So what about the website and the myspace page saying that it was a swinger club? It had his picture displayed with braging words abotu how his swinger club was better than any other swinger club in the area? Well, there is a perfectly logical explination to this. Ya see, someone broke into his house, robed one of his pictures, scanned it, and then created a whole phoney website about being a swinger club in order to frame him.

• NOTE: The previous paragraph is not a joke on my part or an attempt for me at over-the-top snarkyness. He actualy did claim that. A previous news article quoted him as saying “They even, in fact, broke into my house, they stole mine and my wife’s wedding photo and put it on the Internet and created a fictitious Web site on MySpace.com,”

Just how did the regestration for the website wind up with his same billing address as him? Thats easy to explain also. Credit card fraud and identy theft.

And his wifes outburst at the zoning hearing when she screamed ‘there is no law againt safe sex’ before he managed to shut her up? Implying that she herself thought the goings on were sex-related SOMEHOW and not actualy a church? No explination from him on that as far as I can tell, but Im sure its somethign totaly loginal and understandabal.

Leaving only one question. Why is the zoning board going after him? Well thats easy to explain too. Ya see, the politicians are just using ‘zoning’ as a cover story. Yep, its all a lie by those closed minded politicians who hate sex. They just came up with the ‘no business in a resedential zone’ story as an after the fact justification and the REAL truth is that they just are a bunch of prudes who are offended by the existance of a swingers club.

This week Hilary Duff came out with her newest music video. In it she tries desperatly to dump her goodie goodie image left over from her roll as Lizzy McGuire. The daily telegraph reports the video …..

• features her caressing herself, a man’s leg and a lawn statue while wearing a plethora of low-cut dresses - and bondage gear while blind folded at one point.

In response, evangelical christian and family values organizations said about the video

The days where even a passing mention of somethign naughty could bring down the rightious rath of the christian right are long since past. Long term readers where who have seen me sprouting off about the 7080 year loop are already aware of this. We are in a generation of sexual burnout where rampit protests againt sexuality no longer make splash headlines.

Recently I have been putting together a history of ‘oops they found naked pics of me’ scandles and the public reaction. This hillary duff thing isnt exactly one of those, but its a good a time as any to go over how things have changed over the past 20 years

Vanessa Williams : September 1984

Oh crap did shit ever hit the fan on this one. It was supose to be all historic and stuff being the first black Miss America. But then old raunchy photos from her past turned up. Corporate sponcers threated to pull advertising from the next years padgent unless somethign was done. Williams quickly got tossed out on her ear.

Madonna : July 1985

Old photos from years ago turn up. But the public already knew she was kind of a slut. Once again corperate sponcers threatend to yank away advertising dollars, but madonna went on the atack, even going so far as to joke about the whole incident at her next concert appearence.

Vanna White : 1987

Such a fall from grace. The squeeky clean public image got tarnished when old photos surfaced. The public was outraged but there were no calls for her to be fired from the show.

Rob Lowe :1988

Hopping from photos to video. There was a lot of crude humor and jokes flying around. Certinaly embarasing but there wasent that much fallout from the event despite one of the people in the video being underage.

tonya harding : September 1994

Yeah yeah. Shes white trash anyway so like who didnt see that one comming?

Pamela Anderson : 1998

Hubba hubba! Far from being a source of contrversy, this video was welcomed with open arms by the public (well one arm at least, the other hand was busy) Far from hurting her carrer, it actualy helped.

Laura Schlessinger: 1998

Not much contrversy over the photos. Just some pointing of fingers and acuzations of hyprocacy.

Jessica Biel : 2000

In a last ditch effort to escape her contract, she decided to pull the old trick of ‘lets do something to piss off the christian right and they will demand I be fired’. There was no demand she be fired. She wasent fired. Despite the fact she was underage at the time the pics were taken

Paris Hilton : 2004

At this point there is no contreversy over the pics at all. Rather there is contreversy that we all just wish the ditzy skank woudl shut up and go away.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens : 2007

Nude pics turn up. Diseny dosent fire her. Wholsome family values disney. Not only do they not fire here, they dont even realy condone the act. Their atatude was perty much ‘Oh well, we all do stupid thigns’.

So what do potato chips have to do with the bdsm?

In upstate new york, just before the civil war, a diner at a resort restraunt did something that no customer at any food service establishement should ever do. He pissed off the cook.

I remember back in the days when I was slinging hash for a living we had this once customer that came in every single wensday at exactly 6PM and ordered an extra rare steak. And every time, week after week, he would always send it back to the kitchen saying it was overcooked. Didnt matter how rare we tried to make it, he sent it back to the kitchen just as a matter of pride. Well, one week we in the kitchen got fed up with this, took a RAW steak, grabbed a magic marker and drew grill lines on it, and sent it out.

Cooks dont spit in your food when they are pissed at you. Instead they take delight in giving you exactly what you ordered. But in the most exagerated way posible. Thats what happened in upstate new york before the cicil war. A customer was complaining that the potatoes au gratin was too soggy. So the cook, George Crum, made up a special batch just for that customer that were sliced so thin and cooked to such a crisp that they couldent be picked up by a fork. Much to his suprise, the customer loved them.

Its reductio ad absurdum. Presenting an example that is so outlandishly over the top that there is no way it could ever be taken seriously. But the risk in using such an argument is that there going to be someone out there who will love it no matter how ridiculous an offering you make to them.

A book version of this trick was published in 1969. Naked Came the Stranger was designed and executed to be the absoulte worse work of lititure to ever see print. Each chapter was writen by a difrent auther who all atempted to one-up each other by writing the crappiest prose imaginable. The only saving grace was that it would be filled with lots of raunchy sex. As expected, it recived high praze from critics who aplauded its bold direction and inovative themes. ….. Theory holds that the Gor novles were writen with the same intent. People were willing to swallow anything just so long as it was anti-feminist.

A few days ago I was lurking in a chatroom when some self proclaimed ‘true slave’ barged in and droped the chalange that anyone who didnt obey her master TOTALY was just a poser wannabe. Well, the other folks in the chatroom didnt take kindly to this. “Oh yeah” they all snapped “well if your master wanted to cut your arm off would you let him?” The intent was to present a situation so extreme that nobody could ever posiably be in suport of it. Demonstrate the absurd by being absurd. But what they didnt realise was that to people who are devoted to their cause, there is no such thing as too extreme. Just like the customer who loved the food that the cook thought no sane person would ever eat, the ‘true slave’ praised eveyones coments and pointed ot that amputation at the whim of the owner is EXACTLY the concept of true slavery that they held in such high regards.

In retrospect I should have seen it comming.

I had written before about the ‘PROTECT Our Children Act’. It had all sorts of dangerous stuff in the bill, from spying on internet trafic to re-criminilizing ‘fake’ porn even after a 2002 supreme court ruling said soing such a thing was unconstitutional. All sexual-rights orgnizations I knew of were suspiciously sielent on the issue.

I had hinted that the reason for the silence was because of partisan politics. After all, the bill was sponsered by the democratic vice presidental canadate Joe Biden, cosponcered by presidental canadite Obama and almost canidate Hillary Clinton. It was promoted and publisised on the Oprah winfrey show. I found it doubtful that any sexual-rights group would ever dare to point out how a democrat was trampling on sexual freedom.

But the real sticking point for me was the process. Pass a law that you know ahead of time is going to get ruled unconstitutional. That way you can claim in your campain adds that you voted to ‘proted the children’ and yet still never change the status quo. Advocacy groups wouldent block it while its going through congress, only object to it as unconstitutional as soon as it passes into law. Well, the bill was signed into law on monday so now I suspected advocacy geroups would start in with their atacks.

Unfortunatly the law is STILL being ignored because another law passed at the same time, the ‘Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators Act of 2008′, is getting all the press and is pusing the ‘PROTECT Our Children Act’ out of the headlines. This other one is just as stupid. Creats the same issue with government spying on internet trafdic. Creats a national database of emails that sexual predators have to regester all theri emails with.

Of corse this assumes that people on the sexual predators list will coroperate and not just go create some new free email address once the one they are using gets flaged. Also there is nothing from stoping a malicious predator for turning in someone elses email other than his own. If you wind up on the bad side of some child rapist, they can turn your address in claiming they are regestering their address. And once your name is on the list good luck ever corecting the false accuzation.

The bill was sponsered by democrat Sen. Charles Schumer and its co-sponsers included John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. Voting on the bill resulted in 228 democrats voting in favor and zero voting againt (4 democrats withheld voting).  But to be fair, republicans voted 198-0 in favor of it also. Schumer even gave a press statement and a speach barging about his work.

So why is it that two bills, both writen by democrats, both creating spying on internet trafic, both with other unconstititunal parts, and both claiming they are doing it to ‘proterct the children’ wind up with one being ignored and yet the other being (finaly) questioned by advocacy groups.

Isnt it obvious?

From Wired >>>>> “…..authored by Senator John McCain and signed by President Bush…..”

So a big ‘Yippie’ for the Center for Democracy and Technologyfor finaly voicing concerns over this law. But a big ‘fuck you’ for everyone else trying to spin it into a donkey v. elephant thing. Both presidental canadates were cosponsers alongside Shumer. Both political parties voted unanimously in favor. Both sponsered their own companion bill that was just as stupid. But blame does not go toward both.

I have taken insults before abotu my support of civial unions. I just consider it a logical outgrowth of the seperation of church and state. The legal ‘goodie bag’ that is passed out to couples for signing a legal contract should not be confused with a sacrements of a church. As a friend pointed out to me once, marriage is a rite, not a right.

But for way too many people, government is santa claus. Passing out presentsto married couples and if you dont get your present from santa also then gosh durn it thats discrimination and should be stoped. But in the eagerness to grab a ‘fair share’ of tax benifits, insurance plans, and joint property ownership benifits, the whole concept of a church being seperate from the government and not having to be forced into practices againt their faith seems to be getting shreded.

My argument goes somethign as folows. Get the government out of the mariage business totaly. If a straight couple goes before a judge and gets a legal document, stop calling that mariage and start calling that civial union. After that, if a church chooses to preform a religious cermony, they can do so as their faith dictates (some churches will preform a cermony for gay couples, some churches only for straight couples, some none at all). The counterargument I get againt this usualy runs something like ‘Hatemonger! Biggot! Homophobe! Why do you hate gay people so much?’ To be folowed quickly by ‘we tried seperate but equal once before and it didnt work’.

The smear is obvious. By even daring to suggest that civial mariage is a difrent thing than religious mariage, I am somehow condoning if not outright supporting segeration. The comeback of ‘we tried seperate but equal and it didnt work’ is a direct refrence to Brown v. Board of Education and is ment to suggest that anyone who is againt the merger of civial and religious is not only homophobic, but is a racist as well. But this is ridiculus to even suggest. Its not like gay people are going to be rounded up and sent to a seperate school.

….. oops ….

Ok, so gays being rounded up and sent to a seperate school is exactly what is being suggested this week in chicago. If it was the political right who was suggesting this there would be riots in the streets. But since it comes from the chicago democratic left its cool. Heck, even the name of the school just reeks of leftist politics. The whole thing is being justifed under the idea that it would be a ‘gay friendly’ school and would support and encourage sexual expression. But even gay rights advocates are calling it a bad idea.

But what realy shocked me was that it isnt the first. New york ciry is already seperating out gay people and sending them to a difrent school. And it has been since 2002. Oposition to the event came in the form of a quote by Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long who said ‘Is there a different way to teach homosexuals? Is there gay math? This is wrong. There’s no reason these children should be treated separately’

Think about that for a second. The evil, prudish, victorian minded, neocon, christian right is saying ‘gay people are no difrent than anyone else’ and the openminded, progresive thinking, non-violence suporting, tolerant left is suggesting gays should be sent to a seperate school.

Fuck do I ever hate politics.

From time I see people floating the theory that such-and-such group needes to be formed in order to bring the entire BDSM comunity together in one big happy family. I wrote this over a year ago to use as a standard copy/paste in responce to that. I place it here just so I can have a refrence to it when needed. Feel free to use it yourself to copy/paste anyone suggesting a call for comunity unity.

A twist on the old ‘boy who cried wolf’ story ……

Once uppon a time in a small far away vilage there lived a group of people. This group lived in total fear that one day a wolf woudl come into their vilage and destroy everything. As such they stationed watchmen all around the borders of the vilage.

One day, one of the watchmen saw a pile of leaves move in the wind out of the corner of his eye. He totaly freaked out. Went running to the town square screaming about how the evil wolf was here and we were now all surely to be destroyed. Everyone in the town began running around screaming and flailing their arms over their head in total panic.

While this mayhem was going on in the town square, one of the other watchmen saw a opossom cross through one of their fields. He also ran to the town square screaming ahow this is the worst most dangerous wolf attack in all of history.

Another watchman ran into the square. He hadent actualy seen anything at all, but her know that ‘the price of freedom is eternal vigilance’ so he just wanted to make sure that the warnings of wolvs were heard loud and clear. She he also began showting that the largest most masive and well orgnized pack of wolvs that the wolld has ever seen was due any second now and would destroy us all.

Then there was one little boy still out at the edges of town. The danm up above in the hills had burst and now a masive flood was headed their way. So he rushes to the town square. Unfortunatly for the boy, so obssesed were his parents and teachers about a wolf atack that they had never actualy taught him the word ‘flood’.

‘Hey everyone’ he screams ‘there is danger headed this way. Its a ….. um …. a …. dang, what do you call it ….. well, its big and its scarey and its making these god awful roaring noises. And its headed this way’

The vilagers all naturaly assume its a wolf. They ready their muskets and rifles and all promply drown in the flood.

~sigh~

More and more news reports are comming out about the max hardcore trial. Over and over each of them is repeating the pre-memorized and well rehersed speaches about ‘miller test’. Each of them is repeating the fears that our first adnment rights are being trampled on. They had been repeating this ‘freedom of speach’ line over and over and over so many times that now its the only warning they appear capapible of wording.

And the flood of fourth adnment right to privacy violations crashes through and drowns them all.

The Max Hardcore website is offline. Closed down by the government. This is a very troubling and disturbing thing, but NOT for the reasons everyone is saying.

To understand the root of the issue, you have to realise that the Max Hardcore trial was a mail fraud trial and not a obscenity trial. The website closer notice points out that the relevant sections of the law are 18 United States Code 1461 and 1465. the first deals with using the post office and the second is interstate transportation. It was the use of the post office that was the heart of the issue, not wether or not the items were obscene.

The first question that pops to mind is if charges of misusing the US post office to conduct interstate commerce even still apply in todays world. Back when the law was originaly writen it might have been reasonable to say that since a branch of the US government was the only way to mail stuff, then the US government had the right to say what went through thier system. But now that you can FedEx stuff anywhere you want, do those olden days rules still have any weight?

But the real big question is the issue of secondary libality. You see, it wasent actualy Max Hardcore or Max World Entertainment that did the mailing. They were the manafacturer but not the distribuitor. The people who actualy put the videos into boxes and sent them through the mail was a company called JKG, Inc. Max World Entertainment outsourced the distribution process to that company so that it could focus more on production.

Now think about this for a moment. Say it was some other ‘iligeal’ item besides porn. For example, what if a convince store clerk sells cigerates to someone under the age of 18 (selling cigerates is not againt the law, but selling them to a minor is). However, instead of the store clerk being charges with a crime, the CEO of philip moris gets taken to court. Or another example. What if a gun dealer sold a assault weapon to someone without conducting a background check or doing a 3 day waiting period (selling guns is not againt the law, but sellign them without the proper paperwork is). However, instead of the dealer being charged with a crime, the CEO of Smith and Wesson gets taken to court. ….. That is what happened here. The person giving it to the customer was the one who broke the law, but it was the manafacturer who wound up in court.

Such a situation raises very serious concerns about the freedom to operate a business. Its especialy troublsom for me seeing as I am a retailer. Several products I sell, I dont actualy make myself. Now I am known for being willing to engage in a bit of civial disobediance in order to stand up for what I feel is right. I do this with the confidence that if shit ever hits the fan nobody will be harmed besides myself. Im a grown up and Im willing to take the conciquences of my actions. But with manafactures now being legaly libal for the ~crimes~ of the distrributer Im a bit more hesitant to do this. I dont mind me taking the heat for my actions, but if I know my suppliers might take the heat instead, I would be less likely to rise up in disobeadence againt a law I think is unfair.

But I say all this knowing that Im the only person in all of existance to actualy be worried abotu the mail fraud charges. To everyone else this is just miller-test junior. In their eyes, the key issue is nitpicking the semantics of what the word ‘obscene’ is and gettign worked into a tizzy about how those evil fundementalist christians are trying to force their uptight and prudish views of sex onto everyone else.

Heck, even the Max Hardcore lawers themselves want to make this into an obscenity trial. Their primary defence argument was that the max hardcore videws were not realy porn, but rather political satire againt the feminist movement. And as such it should be granted the same freedom of speach rights as other political protests since its not realy techinalky ‘onscene’ material.

I dont think anyone would buy that line of shit. Of cortse MaxHardcore videos were obscene. Thats what was so great about them. They were pervy, kinky, filthy, gloriously obscene. Trying to claim it wasent obscene and was instead ‘political speach’ is an insult not only to porn but to political satarists as well. But thats the line everyone keeps chanting. Miller test. Comunity standards. Vague and overly broad. Baddly writen law. Come hell or high water people were going to paint this so that it looked as if it were a case of right wing religious zealots trying to shut down anything and everyting having to do with sex.

Charges wernt pressed by the FBI ‘pon squad’. They were charged by the US Post office. That right therte should clue folks in to the fact of the real dangers involved here. But no. Instead of paying attention to the real dangers, folks are going to push with all their might untill this case squeeses into the ‘christians hate sex’ template.

Just an update from an eairler post where I attempted to rickroll the reader.

Like any good rick roll, it tricked the reader itno thinking the link was something it wasent. In this case, iligeal child porn. However, I have since found out that the link is now dead. I am sure this is just because youtube got sick of people sucking up bandwidth, or at the very least was because of some copyright violation. But secretly I like to think that enough people who were searching for iligal child porn clicked through that it set off the automatic ‘inaproperite content’ trigger.
