Early stage prostate cancer can be harmless, and might never present health problems even if untreated. But in some patients, the cancer metastasizes, spreading to other parts of the body and becoming more dangerous...
...Sure, people have the right to do what they want in the privacy of their own home. But people who watch porn are absolutely contributing to sexual exploitation of men and women, endangering others' health, and perpetuating unrealistic expectations about male and female bodies, sex, and relationships that have very real consequences on how real people interact with and treat others in society...

Health-care legislation—poorly marketed from the beginning—has stalled, and with the election of Scott Brown to the Senate, might not be revived until the end of the year, if at all.

But surely the complete unwillingness of congressional Republicans to cooperate with Mr. Obama is just as despicable. Given the constant Republican threats of filibuster, an increasingly out-of-reach supermajority of 60 Senate seats is now required to pass any kind of progressive legislation...
