$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'R')ing Of Fire Lyrics
Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..
I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....
BTW, this reminds me of a story my old friend the Mexican cook told me back in the restaraunt days. He left Mexico to get away from a relationship, evidently, that was too heavy for him or something and he had to dump her. He said they were in touch again and the girl came to visit him in the US many years later. She was working as a model, really good looking, with money, etc. It got hot all over again and he was ready to give himself to her at last and she dumped him this time, left him crying in his beer. He's very leery of love now. This guy used to "eat ego sandwiches" he told me, act cold and haughty to "get over" on the girl, put her in her place, yadda yadda. So the question we debated: had she planned revenge or did it just work out that way? he doesn't know.

here's another interesting gender-relations story from around here: a young lawyer had himself a pretty blond wife. she gave him children and helped him through law school and helped him build a career. So he's a big success, making big bucks, a prominent high-priced well-connected local attorney. What does he do? he dumps the blond who is looking middle-aged for a hot young brunette trophy wife. What does the ex do? Well, she's a big time socialite in La Jolla and isn't going to stand for the insult: she stalks them and finally murders both of them in their bed. She smiles as she goes off to prison. They made a movie about this one. The Betty Broderick case.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Loki', ' ')A good antidote to feminist ideologues who assume difference = inequality
Why is the opinion that difference = inequality feminist?
It is more like fact, difference does indeed entail inequality in most cases and not just in the gender domain, it also occurs with race, religion, disability and age.

Acutally it's not looking good for non-division of labour.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') new explanation for the demise of the Neanderthals, the stockily built human species that occupied Europe until the arrival of modern humans 45,000 years ago, has been proposed by two anthropologists at the University of Arizona. Unlike modern humans, who had developed a versatile division of labor between men and women, the entire Neanderthal population seems to have been engaged in a single main occupation, the hunting of large game, the scientists, Steven L. Kuhn and Mary C. Stiner, say in an article posted online yesterday in Current Anthropology. Because modern humans exploited the environment more efficiently, by having men hunt large game and women gather small game and plant foods, their populations would have outgrown those of the Neanderthals.
