There's a couple in there by Mencken:<br /><br />"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."<br /><br />"There is always an easy solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong."<br /><br />I assume your favorite is this second one : )Gherald Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018224925808657621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045306590890775331.post-20481003566445914102010-04-02T12:39:16.093-05:002010-04-02T12:39:16.093-05:00Oh, and BTW, your quote for the day is my sole Fac...Oh, and BTW, your quote for the day is my sole Facebook quote.

I do think porn has more of an impact on mens' thinking than your average romantic comedy/Nicholas Sparks book (Twilight is a different phenomenon, IMO) because porn complements everything else that society throws at men about success and sex, where the goal is to basically be James Bond, while society throws a lot of different and contradictory stuff at women, basically expecting them to find some sort of median between virginal and jezebel (see any pop tart from Britney Spears on for examples of this), which plays out in a lot of different ways.Levhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342682455755854289noreply@blogger.com
