all the murder drama shows on tv. The 60 Minutes segment was no such thing.

Immediately after the warning, I changed the channel. I can't watch more gruesome news right now. This is the sort of thing I refuse to let occupy my life. One can stay aware without letting it seep into your psyche. It just isn't good for our emotional and physical health.

It was ghastly but people need to know.
Remember that Putin is supporting Assad and the former POTUS (45) is supporting Putin.

The thing with porn is that like any addiction, the more you use it, the more you need to get off. Extreme porn is rising.

It is an escalating effect.

We had a very good friend who was a professional and no one knew that he was addicted to porn. They found him in a warehouse loft surrounded with pornographic material. He died of Autoerotic asphyxia.

I’m still shaken over the absolute lack of humanity of this. And this segment on the Q people is disturbing. What have we become ?

Roger answers some of that in his album "Amused to Death". The entire thing is a masterpiece.
