"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Vagina Monologues Update

Eve Ensler, creator of the Vagina Monologues is fielding a new effort The Good Body in which she obsesses about her stomach (!?):

"For most of my life I have felt wrong, dirty, guilty and bad, and my stomach is the carrier, the pouch for all that self-hatred. My stomach has become the repository for my sorrows, my child-hood scars, my unfulfilled ambition, my unexpressed rage.

Like a toxic dump, it is where the explosive trajectories collide: the Judaeo-Christian imperative to be good; the patriarchal mandate that women be quiet, be less; the consumer-state imperative to be better ..."

"Explosive trajectories" colliding in your stomach? Yikes...Scott Burgess has all the pathetic, self-absorbed, gut-wrenching, toxic details [>]
