1. Ross Douthat and his post on the history
behind the pursuit of same-sex marriage. I’ve said it before, and I will say it
again: history matters! Take a current hot topic: race, Mideast conflict, same-sex
marriage. Most of the current dialogue on topics like these show little to no
sense of the history behind the topic—and thus end up giving, in my opinion,
shallow or just plain wrong-headed analysis.
So, in this case, I appreciated Douthat’s historically-based
argument that the pursuit of same- sex marriage is ironically also a pursuit of
freedom from the mores of marriage in general.

FYI – I think Douthat is one of the more thoughtful and balanced
conservative writers out there. It’s always worth paying attention (Correction:
MORE attention) to what he writes.
The documentary follows four young women “as
they seek fame and fortune as porn models, showing their rapid progression from
posing for photos in lingerie to participating in hard-core humiliation and
bondage videos.”
Reading this review made me angry, sad,
unsettled. If you want yet another reason to despise pornography and its
horrific effects on our culture, read this review and share it with others
(especially men).
