  1. This won't be here long. I don't show my face. It's dangerous to be a gay activist in Mississippi. Nuff said I think. ___________________________ Replaced ugly guy with random LOLZ

  3. Sometimes- when the feedback adds something useful. never to point out gramatical or spelling errors.
  4. Coming soon for the Spring Anthology: the Place In Between It’s never a destination. It’s a place in between tedium and suburbia. It is an impulse turn off of the daily routine; a guilty pleasure that you can feel guilty about after you feel the rush of the forbidden.
  5. I would be interested to know where you were. Mississippi is very much integrated- in fact I live in the hood. I don't see the tension. What I do see is when some black people get in arrested or fired from their job, racism comes up. Usually doesn't mean much as the police and supervisors are likely to be black. Mississippi has been focused on race like no other state. Over the years we've even had Amnesty International investigate or jails! All I can say is that race isn't what everyone goes around thinking about every day. That issue would be jobs/economics.
  6. I sent my respects. Comicality has been around a long time. He's one of the very few authors from gay fictions "first wave" on the net to still be around and producing. He is a living treasure and we should all strive to show him the respect and admiration that he deserves.
  7. I'm not ashamed of the United States past. Compared to other countries and what they were doing at the time, Americans were acting like choir boys. Germany, Japan, Great Britain, France, Russia, Spain and others were all building Empires. They weren't shy about busting heads to do it either. Consider England's colonization of India. Russia's building of the trans-Siberian rail road. Japan's occupation of Korea and parts of China. Spain's brutal repression in Cuba and the Philippines. France's actions in North Africa and Indo-China. All of that was before Germany's two world wars. The chaos that occurred before and after both of them. Don't get me started on Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot. Are we perfect? No. Are we a cut above the competition? Hell yeah.

  9. Racism is closely associated to racial superiority or the belief that one race is superior or closer to God than any other. This has historically been exploited by practically everybody on the planet. In classical Greece, Greeks were "the people" and Barbarians were everybody else. In Roman times you were either a citizen or a slave. In America it was about our manifest destiny. In Great Britain it was the white man's burden. In Japan it is the belief that gaijin (non-Japanese) are inferior. This is nothing new or even particular to the American experience. Cast your eye at history and you will see that racism goes hand in glove with nationalism and has been a powerful, and often unacknowledged, force behind history.
  10. It R yo birthday. Dance you silly!
  11. I don't know that I write "for" anyone. To me it is about creating something unique. I guess that's a personal rush that is for me. It is not at all about exciting faux hipsters with lap-tops and scruffy goatees snarfing free wi-fi in coffee shops.
  12. I appears to be scanned from a paper source and has become a mini-meme called the "bawww-bunny". It is used in threads on forums where someone is.... bawww-ing.
  13. Broken Chap. 23 is posted. best version is at Deweywriter
  14. When it changes from a hobby to a profession, then it's an addiction.
  15. I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! We're just the guys to do it.
  16. There's east coast and there's west coast and then there are a million places in between.
  17. Toga! Toga!
  18. Some good sites: Awesomedude Deweywriter < Home of the Brian & Pete saga CRY Boy
  19. My hideout won't have a self destruct button on the coffee table in the lounge.

  22. Does anyone know where this comes from?
  23. Capella, or Alpha Aurigaeto to astronomers, has been known to humans since ancient times. Only forty-two light years from Sol, it is the sixth-brightest star in earth's Northern sky. Burning a bright yellow-white in the Northern skies, it was dutifully recorded by countless generations of astrologers. The Greeks named it- Capella or "the Goat Star" from which Zeus grew strong drinking her milk. The ancients Ptolemy and Ricciolli recorded it in their writings. It wasn't until spectroscopic o
  24. First Officer Chris Harrison Personal Log Raymond T. Burke 2573.05.12 19:12UT When I first saw course projections for the convoy, I wondered why the fleet was spending so much time between jumps. Capella is only a couple of days out of Sol, but two extra days were penciled in to the mission itinerary. As soon as we emerged from our first jump, the fleet was hailed by the heavy command cruiser Kursk and her battle group of 3 heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, twelve des
