fate months faces
Every month, it is woman's fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.
real fate years
Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs.
war fate world
American policy seems to be wed to a perpetual state of war. Why? History shows that the world will always be in flux or turmoil, with different peoples competing for visibility and power. The U.S. cannot fix the fate of every nation.
sex fate men
I view the prostitute as one of the few women who is totally in control of her fate, totally in control of the realm of sex. The lesbian feminists tried to take control of female sexuality away from men - but the prostitute was doing that all along.
fate political feminism
Feminism has exceeded its proper mission of seeking political equality for women and has ended by rejecting contingency, that is, human limitation by nature or fate.
clutter creatively design games major news though ugly video web
Video games and YouTube.com are creatively booming, even though Web design, as demonstrated by the ugly clutter of most major news sites, is in the pits.

Leaving sex to the feminists is like letting your dog vacation at the taxidermist
girls issue
The plastic surgery issue is really looming because girls in the U.S. are getting it in their teens.
economic failure fear gate mainly measured monstrous obama package presidency prove stimulus success within
Within the U.S., the Obama presidency will be mainly measured by the success or failure of his economic policies. And here, I fear, the monstrous stimulus package with which this administration stumbled out of the gate will prove to be Obama's Waterloo.
automatic government
Uncritical American boosterism - automatic endorsement of every government action - is myopic and self-defeating.
expect fact general indeed public ridiculous since social supported whom
Ever since Romanticism, an oppositional mode, artists have the right, and indeed the duty, to attack social convention. But it is ridiculous and in fact self-infantilizing for them to expect to be financially supported by the general public whom they are insulting.
