Let me know what you think… I know that Rob prefers to post part of his RA posts and link back at the end, so please let me know if you’d prefer this, and where you’d like me to make the cutoff.

Thanks for letting me post it!

I disabled RSS feed on my blog after somebody from the Netherlands used it to start a website under the name The Pagan Temple, using my original posts, and then tried to sell it to me. That’s why I also got my blog listed under Creative Commons. I figure it might not keep somebody from lifting my posts, but at least it should enable me to keep credit for what I write, since my posts are all dated and what have you. It might at least discourage intellectual property theft.

I might enable RSS feeds again at some point, but I’m still kind of wary.

Thanks, this is as of now the newest funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life.

I imagine the stories are true. I don’t know the statistics, but in my experience gay kids are even more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse (not to mention drug use, suicide, etc.) than the general teen population. These accounts may be completely honest, and I have no problem with adults reading these memoirs, but kids should be getting guidance that lets them know they don’t have to be walking stereotypes.

Re: The Daily Show, I wasn’t kidding. A Time poll found that Jon Stewart is by far the most trusted newscaster in America. Obviously I take that poll with a grain of salt, but I do know people who got their news from Stewart during the 2008 election season.
