Good evening.

I also thought it was because someone other than the guest was likely to be paying for it. (I only charge internet when I have to e-mail or look things up in the evenings; on the other hand, *wood and Hyatt offering free Internet to Plats has decreased my channel-surfing time.)

'twas mentioned by me, and I couldn't go anyway (Daddy duty), so no worries. I was in Center City this morning and early afternoon taking daughter #2 and one of her friends to a concert and was surprised at how many US shirts I saw. I even saw some out my way early this evening on the way home from the pool.

I've always had a suspicion that statues like that were purposeful and that the artist just argued that they were about something else. Of course, that may just be my cynical and dirty mind at work.

I am not an ice cream fan. I'll eat it, but I've always preferred sorbet; which I guess is a good thing!

^ I've been chatting on FB with a guy who came to my Jr. High 8th grade year (I believe, though it could have been 7th) from Viet Nam as a refugee. I remember him telling us about his trip, but reading it now is very, very powerful and makes me realize how easy I had it. It's very nice to be in touch with him again; I've thought of him when I went to SGN.

I heard one cop on his phone said it looked like a bunch of Phillies fans because of all of the red shirts, both teams fans were in red. Ok game. USA defense has issues such as very slow running ability. 55k in attendance. Largest soccer audience in Philadelphia. I read that as the largest in the USA not World Cup or Pele related.

You're quite likely right in many cases. The legal standard is still Miller v. Calif., and if a work has "SLAPS" value (serious literary, artistic, political or scientific), it's protected by the First Amendment.

The joke in the early days of porno films was that if the actors were discussing the ocean currents around Sweden during the action, it wasn't pornography.
