Author’s Note: I published this piece over a decade ago. Since October is World AIDS Awareness Month, I think it appropriate to run it here now. The Circle of Healing is a support group that meets twice monthly at the First Existentialist Church of Atlanta, Georgia for meditation and guided imagery. It began two...

Prior to October 9th, Dear Abby was known for straightening out troubled individuals by providing generally wise insight and suggestions. She just fell off the wagon and down the bottomless bellybutton of Socratic narcissism. Abby now endorses “same-sex marriage†— suggesting it is as normal as milk and cookies — because a few scientists...

You may not know Joseph Merlino, but he knows about you and what makes you function. He knows what turns you on and he knows whether it is a problem for you. Merlino, who is the psychiatry adviser to the New York Daily News, is one of the more accomplished psychiatrists in his field...

This blog will appear on a men’s website so the title may not seem appropriate. However, since I’ve been accused of seeking “choice for women, responsibility for men†and of “making excuses†for women who act badly as mothers, I thought I’d share some thoughts specifically for women on how to do their best...

Sally Field recently said, “If mothers ruled the world, there wouldn’t be any wars.†Interestingly, she did not say – as many have – that peace on earth would follow if women per se were in charge. It is rule by women who have children that she, and probably many others, believe could bring...

The killing of Church of Christ minister Matthew Winkler of Selmer, Tennessee, by his wife Mary Winkler appeared to be an obvious case of first-degree murder. She shot him in the back while he lay sleeping. The nearby phone had been disconnected, apparently to prevent the wounded man, who did not immediately die, from...

The following post, authored by Rob Fedders, was borrowed from: http://no-maam.blogspot.com/2007/09/achilles-heel.html The biggest problem that I think we are facing as men and as a civilization, is that Marxism has never really been defeated. It is more of an ideological religion of humanism (man can defeat nature & create a Heaven on Earth), not...

Many readers have interpreted a recent blog I wrote as part of a campaign against “pre†or “non†marital sex. Some readers seemed to see it as anti-male or as evidence that I have little understanding of men. Perhaps my understanding of men is indeed limited. However, I have certain strong beliefs about men...

Penny Patterson has said of herself, her longtime companion Ron Cohn, her adopted gorilla daughter Koko, her adopted gorilla son, the late Michael, that “we function as a family, albeit a weird one.†In some ways, however, that family is traditional, hearkening back to the 1950s and previous eras in its division of sex...

In my opinion, the most fascinating serial murderer in American history is the late Ted Bundy. Bundy held the country’s attention in large part because he was not the socially inept silent loner we think of serial murderers as being. A close second to Bundy, at least for me, is Carlton Gary, convicted of...

I have more than one reaction to the now famous audiotape of the interview between Senator Larry Craig and arresting officer Sgt. Dave Karsnia. The first is that Sen. Craig just MIGHT be telling the truth largely because Sgt. Dave Karsnia had such a tedious assignment. He had to hang around that airport restroom...

This was originally published in “The Hatchet: The Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies.” Most contemporary people who are familiar with Governor George Robinson know him as the attorney who so ably defended Lizzie Borden. Indeed, the most intelligent move Borden family attorney Andrew Jennings made in this case was probably calling on Robinson and...

Newsweek recently ran a good article on the new “modesty movement†among young women who believe that public vulgarity has gone too far and want a return to more public restraint in sexual matters. They want clothing that is pretty, feminine, cool, and chic without exposing just about everything. This article mentioned Wendy Shalit,...
