Features: Is Pornography Dangerous: His
View
As a reporter covering the pornography issue, I interviewed one
well-respected feminist who pointed to a series of sex-torture slayings in Philadelphia.
The man accused of this horrific crime, the feminist said, had "pornography all over
the place."
I called Philadelphia homicide, - no pornography of any kind was found. This sicko turned
homicidal without the benefit of sex magazines or videos - much like Adolph Hitler and
Genghis Khan.
Pornography is a panic-of-the-month issue. Like smoking, drinking and "drugs,"
porn is given a semi-satanic power by its opponents. It is the cause of sex crimes and
bolemia, and its very existence "harasses" women.
From Our Publisher: DON'T QUIT - - -
JUST DO_ _
_ _ IT !!!!!!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must - but don't you quit. Read more....

Humor/Humour: Winning at Lotto
"If you, say, had a few spare million." Viola asked languidly twirling the last bit of her pasta before slurping it down, "what would you do with it?" I sat staring at her rainbow sweater across the red and white checkered tablecloth, a candle flickering romantically, waiters in black and white uniforms hovered in the
background.
"Give it away?" I pondered.
"After that, " she said, "let's say you had a few million after that."
This was exactly the sort of banter that made first dates so charming. And Scary.
"Buy a chateau in the south of France?" I offered.
Careers & Education: Back-to-School Time
School has already started for thousands of students around the nation or is about to start. Singles interested in children's education -- whether or not they are parents -- can get involved in a variety of ways.
It may also be in our own interests. After all, schools receive tax funding, in most cases through property taxes, and may also get part of their money from the state. In Iowa, for example, more than 60 percent of the state's budget goes to schools. Since that money comes from a combination of sales and income taxes, it's coming directly from those who live, work and shop inside the state.
With singles an ever growing segment of the population, we're paying for our schools whether or not we have children that attend them.
Health: Belly
Dancing is Good for the Brain and Bod!
Tae Bo. Spinning. Wall-climbing. Stepping. These are only a few of the
workout crazes that have taken us by storm in the past years. Each craze
is rigorous and exciting and finds thousands of followers sweating it out
all over the country in classes in gyms nationwide. A new exercise trend,
slowly infiltrating gyms and dance studios is based on an ancient art.
Belly dancing has taken on a new interest in the eyes of health conscious
America, as a form of exercise that improves balance, body tone, and is so
much fun that you do not feel you are exercising at all. Traditionally
practiced in harems throughout the Middle East, belly dancing was often
reserved for our imaginations, for short appearances in films, for Arab
weddings, but no longer will belly dancing remain hidden in these
places.

Community: The
Power of a Single Voice in the Fight for Humanity:
How Ganga Stone created
an Institution to Feed Homebound AIDS Victims.
She didn’t start out this
way. Now, approaching sixty, and commanding an army of thousands of volunteers; Ganga
Stone, the founder of - In God’s Love We Deliver! - supplies homebound AIDS victims
with two hot gourmet meals daily. She has headed up this non-profit organization for
almost fifteen years, and delivers her meals to over three thousand people daily. Now the
stars come out and rally to raise money for the cause she espouses. Such notables as Joan
Rivers, New York City Ballerina Heather Watts, and Donald Trump’s sister-in-law,
Blaine, are on the front line. It all started with her volunteer work delivering groceries
for a hospice to homebound AIDS victims. A 32-year-old actor named Richard, threw a
plastic packet of pasta mix on the floor in disgust, what good were groceries when he
couldn’t even leave his bed to prepare them?

Travel:
The
Aegean Odyssey - A Singularly, Intriguing Voyage.
The Marco Polo left at 4:00PM and I waved goodbye to Istanbul, a small part of my mind
still roaming its jeweled palaces and bustling streets. It was my first embarkation on
Orient Lines’ all-inclusive Aegean Odyssey Cruise, a twelve-day adventure through the
ancient cities and enchanting seaside towns of the Greek Isles. Built in 1965 and rebuilt
in 1993 for cruises between six continents, the Marco Polo is a classically beautiful
liner providing four-star luxury featuring a Mediterranean bistro, as well as a casino,
gym, spa, pool, disco, outdoor Jacuzzis, and more. I was consistently provided with
exceptional service to ensure my stress would stay on shore.
Religion & Spirituality: From The
Rev: Go Ahead, Stick Your Neck Out from - Rev. Lance Robbins
"People find new
information threatening, because if they incorporate they
will have to do a good deal of work to revise their maps
of reality, and they instinctively seek to avoid that
work. Consequently, more often than not they will fight
against the information rather than for
assimilation."
M. Scott Peck
Sometimes as we face a new future we
tend to think all the good things have happened in the
past. So many things seemed clearer in the "good old
days."
As people of faith, we are taught to
look forward and not backward. In the Lord’s Prayer
we pray to God, "Your Kingdom come," not
"Your Kingdom that was." We are called to live
in the present and to look to the future not the past.
The apparent clarity of the past is what makes it so
attractive. But, the past is clear because we know what
has happened. It can be seen with a sense of certainty.
Relationships: Ask
The Mediator: Q&A on Separation, Divorce, and Relationships.
Q. My husband died five years ago. I had
a date about two years ago, and all the guy wanted was to go to bed. Dating is difficult
enough, but I’ve had other bad relationship problems too. I’ve called single
women I know to go out, but they were not interested. How do I meet people, how can I find
a companion to do things with?
A. Keep trying. Give a party and
invite everyone you know; go to events for singles; join a group for widows or a church
group or a group for formerly married persons. Be open to meeting new people and extend
yourself. Read More.....

one answer.
Sports
& Fitness: What's So Great About Tiger Woods Anyway?
Did you know that the greatest single golfer in the world is also the greatest single golfer in the world? Of course I)B’m referring to the unmatched and unmarried Tiger Woods. And if you are a golfer you probably already know the answer to the question that serves as the title to this piece.
But what about the rest of us)B—the non-golfers? It seems everywhere we turn we see images of Tiger Woods—from magazines to billboards, from television to cereal boxes. Why, the money this guy makes from Nike alone is probably more than I’ll get for writing this entire column. (OK, just a little underpaid-writer humor there.) But seriously, what has Tiger Woods actually done to make him
the focus of so much attention? What makes him, at the age of twenty-five, the dominant force in the game of golf today?
