...people are exactly that, "a people." When you come out, you discover a mysterious, close bond with others like you that is based on something much deeper than sex. What we share is unrelated to geography, religion or ethnicity. What links us is our feelings. This may be why there is such a thriving gay culture, filled with wit and celebration. Even the ravages of the AIDS epidemic haven't destroyed the gay spirit. Can you remove what makes a person gay and maintain that unique sensibility that has played a disproportionate role in the world's art and history...
...plotters that killing the pastor of the A.M.E. church would "stir the masses," that "half-assed revolutions" don't work, and that killing black leaders was the way to start the race war. One skinhead said that "an $ average dumb nigger" should be slain so the group could bond with blood. The violent rhetoric seemed at odds with some of the members' backgrounds.

The concept was rather simple: RU 486, an antiprogestin, could break a fertilized egg's bond to the uterine wall and thus induce a miscarriage. An injection two days later of prostaglandin, a hormone-like substance, would force uterine contractions and speed the ejection of the embryo. It took six more years and tests on more than 17,000 women before the French government announced that RU 486 would be made...
...Bonding sounds ominous, if it means posting big bucks to be forfeited (as with a bail bond) in case of calamity. But it would be hard to argue against voluntary hiking-and-climbing insurance, perhaps offered at modest extra cost along with park entrance fees.
