It Must Be Something In The Air:

Rick Patrick (formerly Roberts, as in Tawneys ex) is engaged to Jesse Jane. No word yet on when the nuptuals will take place but it’s a good move on his part…he is now pretty much guaranteed a directing job at DP, not to mention a hottie wife. Congrats! I am told there will NOT be a “Team Jesse” — Adella has had that job sewn up for years, anyway.

2257 is NOTHING By Comparison: (From my Buddy Boortz)

THE END OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS

I cannot remember being more dismayed at a court ruling, and this includes the occasional ruling against me when I was practicing law. What ruling? Just in case you don’t already know, the United States Supreme Court yesterday issued a ruling that goes a long way toward destroying private property rights in this country. [full text of ruling]

Background. The Fifth Amendment to our Constitution restricts the government’s right of eminent domain. It does not, as I heard so many commentators say yesterday, grant a right of eminent domain, it restricts it. The right of eminent domain was assumed as a basic part of English Common Law. The Fifth Amendment merely said that government could not exercise this right for a public use without paying for it. The exact working is “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”

For hundreds of years the term “public use” was interpreted to mean use for something like a school, library, police or fire station, power transmission lines, roads, bridges or some other facility owned and operated by government for the benefit of the general population. As politicians became more and more impressed with their own power they started to expand this definition of public use.

The new theory is that increasing the property taxes paid on a parcel of property is a public use. Increasing the number of people who can be employed by a business located on a particular piece of property can also be a public use. This would mean that government would be free to seize private property if it can be handed to a developer who will redevelop the property so as to increase the property taxes paid or the number of people employed. This is the theory that was validated by the Supreme Court yesterday in its ruling approving just such a private property seizure in New London, Connecticut. As Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said in her dissent, this decision renders virtually all private property vulnerable to government confiscation.

Bottom line: If you own property, and the government wants that property — you’re screwed. You now own your private property only at the pleasure of government; and that means that you own your property, be it your home, your business or a piece of investment real estate only at the pleasure of the local controlling politicians.
Let me give you a few real-life examples of just how politicians can now use this Supreme Court decision. In considering these examples, please remember one of the first rules of politics: There is absolutely no limit whatsoever to a politician’s desire for more tax money to spend.

First let’s consider our lovely Southern Belle producer Belinda. Belinda and her husband recently purchased a tract of land behind her new home. That tract of land contains one rather small and old house plus some empty acreage. Belinda will rent the home for just enough to cover her debt service and property taxes on the new purchase … maybe. Now, here comes a developer. He wants Belinda’s land because he can build at least three, maybe four new homes on that property. Belinda says no. She likes not having houses abutting her back yard and appreciates the investment value of the land she has purchased. So .. the developer wanders off to the Capitol to talk to some politicians. He tells them that he can increase the property being paid on that tract of land tenfold if he could just get in there and build some houses, but the owners just won’t sell the property to him. Under this Supreme court ruling the city can just seize the property from Belinda and hand it over to the developer to build those homes. Belinda has no way to stop this action. The city will have to pay Belinda “just compensation,” but that compensation will never match what Belinda might have earned by selling the property herself. Besides … she didn’t want to sell in the first place. It was her property, and she wanted to keep it. Now it can be taken … just like that.

Another example. This time we’ll use me. About two years ago I brought a building lot in the Northeast Georgia mountains. It’s a lot in a mountain resort community. Before I bought the lot I made sure that there were no covenants or regulations that would require me to build a home on that lot before I was ready to do so. At present it is not my intention to build a home. I bought the lot as an investment. Now, since there is no home as of yet the property taxes are rather low. Along comes a developer. He wants to build a home on my lot. I tell him the lot is not for sale. He waltzes off to the local county commission to complain. He wants to build a house, I won’t sell him the land. If he could build the house the property taxes would jump on that parcel of land. The county commission then sends me a letter telling me that if I don’t sell my land to that developer to build that home they are going to seize the land and turn it over. Thanks to the Supreme Court, I’m screwed.

Now take the situation in New London. This is the case the court was considering. The targeted neighborhood is populated by middle class residents. The homes are old, but very well kept. One couple now slated to have their property seized is in their 80’s. They celebrated their wedding in that home. They raised their children in that home. They held their 50th wedding anniversary party in that home. Now they’re going to lose that home because a developer wants the property to build a hotel, some office buildings and a work out center. This is America. This shouldn’t happen in America. That couple shouldn’t be kicked out of their home just because a new development would pay more in property taxes.

There are also small businesses located on this tract of land. They’re history. The big boys are in town, and the big boys can use eminent domain to get your property.

No society ostensibly based on economic liberty can survive unless that society recognizes the right to property. The right to property has been all but crippled by this decision from the Supreme Court. That right is now subject to the whims of politicians and developers.

I’m not through ranting. Read on.

Considering this ruling, how likely are you to invest in real estate at this point? If you saw a tract of land that was placed squarely in the path of growth, would you buy that property in hopes that you could later sell it for a substantial profit? I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be interesting in investing in that property because I know that when it came time to sell, the potential purchaser would lowball me on the price. I would never get a true market value based on the highest and best use of that property. And why not? Because the developer wanting that property would simply tell me that if I didn’t accept his lowball offer he would just go to the local government and start the eminent domain process. This ruling also means that virtually every piece of raw land out there has decreased in value. The threat of eminent domain for private economic development has severely damaged in most cases, and destroyed in many others, the American dream of investing in real estate.

Another element of the New London case. These middle class homes and small businesses were located on a waterfront. Everybody knows that middle class people and small businesses have no right to live on prime waterfront property. This property should be reserved for expensive homes and for big businesses with powerful political connections .. businesses like Pfizer Pharmaceutical company. Pfizer will be one of the beneficiaries of the New London seizures. This hideous Supreme Court ruling is going to result in a disgusting orgy of wealthy developers and politically powerful business interests using their political connections to ride roughshod over the property rights of poor and middle class property owners. I doubt seriously that you’ll ever hear of some politician invoking eminent domain to seize property from a wealthy individual or business to make way for a low income housing project.

There’s another element I want to add to this rant. I believe this Supreme Court decision to be a victory for the dark side in the war against individualism. Sadly, sometimes I think that I’m the only one out there who realizes that this war is being fought … the only one on the side of individuality, that is. How in the world can leftist icon Ted Kennedy make say that “we are engaged in a war against individuality” without at least a few people in the media asking him what in the world he’s talking about?

The concept of individuality is a very troublesome one for liberals. Recognizing the concept of the individual brings with it a whole lot of baggage that liberals don’t want to carry around. When you acknowledge the existence of the individual you then have to recognize that the individual has rights. Among those rights would be the right to property. Liberals aren’t friendly with the idea of property rights. They’re fond of chanting such absurdities as “human rights, not property rights.” Well, truthfully speaking; property has no rights. People have the right to property .. and those rights have been severely damaged.

Now … is there a bright side? Is there anything good in the ruling? Yes, there is, and this is where you come in. Even though the Supremes approved these government confiscations of private property, the five justices who voted with the majority did say that they didn’t like it. They encouraged local jurisdictions to pass laws severely restricting these seizures. There are eight states in the nation where the use of eminent domain for private development is all but prohibited by law. Those states are Washington, Montana, Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas, Maine, South Carolina and Florida. If your state is not on this list, it’s time for a little political activism. Start the movement now. Let your legislators know that you want your private property rights restored, and that your decisions on election day will be governed by their willingness to act to preserve your rights.

The Supreme Court decision is a horrible blow to private property rights. Whether or not it is a death-blow will be up to you.

What Goes Around Comes Around, A True Libertarian Manuever:

Last week’s Kelo vs. New London, Connecticut decision in which the Supreme Court decided it was just fine and dandy for the government to steal your property was supported by Justice David Souter. Four days later the CEO of a pro-liberty organization decided he wanted to build a hotel.

The hotel he wants to build will be at 34 Cilley Hill Road in Weare, New Hampshire. He faxed the paperwork to the town to get the ball rolling. Who lives at that address? Yup…you guessed it…United States Supreme Court Associate Justice David Hackett Souter. So is this all a joke?

Nope…the group who wants to take Souter’s house intends to get the investors together to build the hotel. Since the hotel will surely generate many more taxpayer dollars than Souter is paying, it therefore meets the requirements of the Supreme Court majority, including Souter, in deciding that “public use” is the same thing as being in the economic interest of the public.

So, will Souter fight the attempt to take his house under the eminent domain provision? Surely if he practices what he preaches, he will gladly hand over his property to the local government in exchange for whatever price they decide. All for the public good, you know.

Oh..and the name they’ve decided on for the hotel? It’s going to be called “The Lost Liberty Hotel” and will feature the “Just Desserts Café.” Good one!

OK Get Ready To Laugh…My Buddy Melissa Wolfe Sends This One:

Here’s a prime example of “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix:

The professor told his class one day: “Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails, and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.”

The following was actually turned in by two of his English students:

Rebecca and Gary.

THE STORY:

(first paragraph by Rebecca)
At first, Laurie couldn’t decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about
him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

(second paragraph by Gary)
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. “A.S. Harris to Geostation 17,” he said into his transgalactic communicator. “Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far…” But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship’s cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

(Rebecca)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. “Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel,”
Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. “Why must one lose one’s innocence to become a woman?” she pondered wistfully.

(Gary)
Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu’udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu’udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid, Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. “We can’t allow this! I’m going to veto that treaty! Let’s blow ‘em out of the sky!”

(Rebecca)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.

(Gary)
Yeah? Well, you’re a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. “Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of FUCKING TEA??? Oh no, I’m such an air headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!”

(Rebecca)
Asshole.

(Gary)
Bitch

(Rebecca)
FUCK YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!

(Gary)
Go drink some tea - whore.

(TEACHER)
A+ - I really liked this one.

CW Adds:

Well, now my thoughts have a changed a little regarding the news. While it is great that the DOJ wont enforce the new regs for FSC members until it all shakes out, what about those that are not members? While I am glad the FSC went to bat for their members, one cannot help to compare this to the government striking a deal with a mob family not to enforce the law while they are in a lawsuit where other mob families are fair game or old day mafia that give you street protection for a price. While it is better than nothing, it still doesnt stp the fact that record keeping is going to change here very shortly.

So what does this actually do? It gives those who have ebcome lazy thinking this day wasnt going to come a chance to get caught up with compliancy. It will still force many web producers out of business.

Another thing I forgot to mention earlier. The records have to be maintained for 7 years at the specific address and the 2257 must be included in full feature films at the beginng and at the end. Scenario: I produce a film and include my current residence as the place for 2257 records. Then my house burns down or I decide to move somewhere more lucrative yet my past films still reference my old address. Feds show up to inspect the records only to find out I no longer reside there with the records. BUSTED! How many will get popped on that technicality?

Again, this is all in the name of saving the children. As a teacher, I say “WHAT THE FUCK EVER.” No one ever says what about the teachers who risks their life every day that some student is going to open fire because some girl broke his heart or a teacher failed him (this has happened to me.) No one ever says what about the police who risk their life every day that some dumb ass teenager jacks a car and damn near kills someone in a police chase. My phrase…What about the parents? When will this country quit relying on government to do the parenting and allowing parents to depend on someone else to do the job they are supposed to do? If their kid watches porn its either because the parent doesnt monitor their kids activities which in that case, they should feel lucky thats all their kid is doing instead of out creating
legal trouble (robberies, murder, rape) or that the parents are too fucking stupid to outsmart their kids. Again, someone else being punished because of a parents inability to control their child.

I see it all too often on a daily basis. Why did you fail my kid? My kid cant go to Harvard because you failed him. I tell them, “You are the one who failed him. If you would have taken the time to assist in his education, he wouldnt have failed.” So thats what this all comes down to. A nation of asshole parents who should be called anything but that relying on the government to do their job and unfortunately, innocent and hard working businessmen will pay the ultimate price.

While the news of a temporary stay is good news, its nothing more than prolonging the inevitable outcome that each day we lose more liberties we were once afforded under the constitution.

CW

A Good Libertarian Teacher…God knows we need more of you man!

It Isn’t Official Till The Judge Says So: (EXCLUSIVE)

But here is the deal the FSC struck with the DOJ

Under the deal, the government will not enforce the new 2257 regulations until the FSC’s lawsuit challenging them is resolved.

Technically this only applies to FSC members but practically it will apply to all.

The FSC deserves an attaboy…well done.

CW Writes:

First and foremost, please withold my name or use initials in order to protect my career. ( I am a public school teacher.)

I have been quite huge fan of the porn industry even though I work in a profession that naturally frowns down on the industry mainly because they dont take the chance to try and understand it. Still, what I do in my private life with my viewing is my business but if word were to get out, I would surely lose my career.

My thoughts on the current state of 2257 are this is mainly a major scare tactic. I am not saying that the DOJ is not serious about cracking down but lets look at the situation as it stands. They have managed to close down many sites already without having to bring charges. Webmaster’s simply have closed up shop because they cannot comply with current terms. While I empathize with the industry’s fear of the new regs, I think the new regs will help funnel out the likes of Rob Blacks and Kahn Tusions of the world.

Furthermore, I think the DOJ knows that they cannot stop porn. It will never happen. They know this and the industry knows this. I feel what the DOJ is trying to do is make the compliance complicated where most webmasters and producers get rustrated and give up. Again, the DOJ succeeds in that scenario without havign to put manpower into prosecution. Seriously, they expect a copy of the video to be included in EACH model’s record folders. So from my understanding, they expect you to make a copy and include in the records folder of the model. So for a film that has 12 different models, thats 12 copies for 12 different folders. Gee, I can see profit margins falling a bit. Not to mention that the records have to be available during normal business hours. For smaller companies or producers who handle all aspects of their business, they now have to hire someone to be there in case of record inspection. Another added cost to become compliant.

Personally, the DOJ doesnt want to face a court battle where the current definition of obscenity would be invalidated to be brought up to modern times. Surely what was consider obscene in the 50s and 60s is not considered obscene now. If that were true, every Spears or Hip Hop video would be prosecuted daily. But with the new regs, the DOJ forces those who cant afford to comply out of business which lessens those it has to monitor. Lets face it, I am willing to bet that more end up in jail over improper record keeping than those who actually produce child porn.

I take my career very seriously in educating the future minds of America. I have former students that are in the adult industry. I support their decisions even though in my profession we are expected to deter those type of career decisions. I dont agree with others in my profession and see nothing wrong with consenting adults enjoying porn or making porn. I am in the minority in modern day education.

The adult industry has to do something at this point. The time for unity is now and if all adult content producers fail to unite and fight together for their rights to conduct business responsbily as most have (save for a few like Black, Max, and Tusion)then the DOJ will begin to attack other liberties outside of the adult industry.

So heres another question. Since some of these smaller webmasters will be forced out of business, is the government going to give them the “injured worker” label and provide job training so they can transition to the traditional workforce? I bet no. If they ever stamped out porn like desire, where would all these people find jobs? I guarrantee you NO school district would hire someone with a porn background and most would not be eligible for government sector jobs.

I could go on all day on the state of affairs with the porn industry. However, I will sit back here and root silently for all adult players and hope that true justice will somehow be served and the DOJ gets the fuck off all of your backs and allows you and others to live as you see fit. As a teacher, I enjoy the product that you and others produce and hope that I will still be allowed to enjoy the products for years to come (or is that cum)?

Again, please respect my wish to not include my name if you choose to post this on your site as I fear for the security of my career.

Fear Not Porners Theres a New Hope For Your Genital Warts:

Common virus kills cancer, study finds

Tue Jun 21, 4:21 PM ET

A common virus that is harmless to people can destroy cancerous cells in the body and might be developed into a new cancer therapy, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

The virus, called adeno-associated virus type 2, or AAV-2, infects an estimated 80 percent of the population.

“Our results suggest that adeno-associated virus type 2, which infects the majority of the population but has no known ill effects, kills multiple types of cancer cells yet has no effect on healthy cells,” said Craig Meyers, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Penn State College of Medicine in Pennsylvania.

“We believe that AAV-2 recognizes that the cancer cells are abnormal and destroys them. This suggests that AAV-2 has great potential to be developed as an anti-cancer agent,” Meyers said in a statement.

He said at a meeting of the American Society for Virology that studies have shown women infected with AAV-2 who are also infected with a cancer-causing wart virus called HPV develop cervical cancer less frequently than uninfected women do.

AAV-2 is a small virus that cannot replicate itself without the help of another virus. But with the help of a second virus it kills cells.

For their study, Meyers and colleagues first infected a batch of human cells with HPV, some strains of which cause cervical cancer.

They then infected these cells and normal cells with AAV-2.

After six days, all the HPV-infected cells died.

The same thing happened with cervical, breast, prostate and squamous cell tumor cells.

All are cancers of the epithelial cells, which include skin cells and other cells that line the insides and outsides of organs.

“One of the most compelling findings is that AAV-2 appears to have no pathologic effects on healthy cells,” Meyers said.

“So many cancer therapies are as poisonous to healthy cells as they are to cancer cells. A therapy that is able to distinguish between healthy and cancer cells could be less difficult to endure for those with cancer.”

AAV-2 is being studied intensively as a gene therapy vector — a virus modified to carry disease-correcting genes into the body. Gene therapy researchers favor it because it does not seem to cause disease or immune system reaction on its own.

FROM THE TRENCHES

BY: Dave Cummings—Porn Star/Producer/Director

This week, I have the honor of being a Plaintiff in Federal Court as the Free Speech Coalition seeks Adult Industry relief from newly published Department of Justice regulations concerning U.S.C. 2257. The recently fabricated DOJ rules might appease the right-wing radical groups who oppose adult entertainment, except of course when they themselves are using our films and/or adult Internet products to sexually pleasure themselves, or others. Hypocrites! But, these latest DOJ rules violate the privacy of American citizens and the right to freedom from government interference in their private lives.

Interestingly, last week while doing my (almost) daily 4-8 mile jog/brisk-walk on the beach, two college-age “Christian” guys approached me to supposedly participate in a survey they were conducting. While trying to keep up with my workout pace, they asked five structured questions, and looked puzzled about my answers whereupon they handed me very biased religious materials; bottom line is that they tried to “con” me, under the guise of a “survey” into accepting their slanted materials advocating their subjective religious beliefs. Instead, I gave them my www.davecummings.com business card and alerted them that it was an adult website, something I suggested might appeal to them. They smiled and headed off, possibly to find a computer! I can’t understand why these type hypocrites can’t accept sex between consenting adults as a gift was their God, and as part of life; instead, they want to forbid, badger, preach, whine, etc while they themselves are often enjoying the sex which they damn others for having. I worry that are Constitutional rights of separation of Church and State is being set up by some politicians for violating Americans!

I attended the recent Erotica-LA event at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It was huge! It grows every year in both attendees and exhibitors. I witnessed thousands of happy people seeing and meeting famous stars, and I noted lots and lots of couples and women in attendance. Surely, the so-called “Community Standards” continue their healthy adaptation into the 21st Century; all I can say to the dangerous and overbearing religious right is—open your eyes to present day life! Your out-dated condemnations and actions to restrict the sexual freedoms of Americans make you and your cause irrelevant and worthless. Grow up!

As a proud American, I reported for jury duty a couple of weeks ago; by random computer selection, I ended up in the Jury Box as a potential juror for an elder-abuse and church-theft case. After listing my name and occupation, the Defense Attorney voiced concern over my background as a now retired U.S. Army Lt Col. However, it was the Deputy DA who had me excused (possibly because of my affiliation with the Adult Entertainment Industry?). Interesting!

Last week, San Diego was the site of the Cybernet Expo, a gathering of folks involved in the Adult Internet Industry. Seminars, networking, and fun parties prevailed. Most talk centered around a couple of issues, including the 2257 matter that I mentioned in the first paragraph of this month’s column. I gotta tell you, these Internet people are 100% against child pornography. As in the past, I was again very impressed by their All-American respect for people, and the laws of our great Nation!

Enjoy your summer, be nice to everyone, and love yourselves!

I Hear That The New DP Girl Sophia Santi Has It Written In Her Contract:

That Every December she must have sex with a certain porn blogger from Georgia. That being, of course me. This clause is hereinafter referred to by me as the “Santi Clause”

Hey I should at LEAST get a BJ for that sharp wit.

OK I Know I’m A Little Late To The Game On The Freidland Thing:

But I don’t get these other guys. yes Freidland is stepping down, but Freidland is and always was JKP, no matter what the pink sheets or anyone else said. Manipulation of the stock prices yesterday were likely a move to avoid taxes or some such stunt. With Jill out and Freidland gone JKP is worthless….not that it had any value before. So wonder what “investors” like Koretsky end up with? The catalog might have limited value but thats about it.

If You Haven’t Given This Site A Look:

The 11 Oclock timeslot will be filled with a T&A show from Florida. The folks at E! who did Sterns show were all let go on Friday with a “generous severance”

Why I Always Liked To Date Strippers:

You can throw porn chicks in here too because the same applies to them.

I had a buddy who asked me what it was like to date a porn star (or a stripper for that matter) and I jokingly replied that for the first two months it was like marrying a nymphomaniac…

Anyway it got me to thinking. I have always had a bit of a soft spot for peelers and pornettes, specially the ones that didn’t use drugs (which is a good many more than ya might think). I mean a little weed here and there or whatever isn’t really what I’d call drug use but I digress.

It’s true that most of em are lousy housekeepers and even fewer can actually cook but as Paul Newman said to Lolita Davidovich in “Belle”…”We can work around it”. What they may lack in domestic skills they more than make up for in the bedroom, and believe it or not, in public. They always dress sexy and not overtly slutty…unless you ask them to. They like to be treated like a lady and they respond to it, specially when you get them back home.

Other chicks expect you to open doors, hold the chair, etc….These girls tend to appreciate it. Fickle as they are, they know how to make you look good in public, they know how men think. They can play other men (and women) to your advantage if they so choose.

Most of them just want to be loved and treated well same as anyone but they don’t necessarily attach a lot emotional baggage to the sexual aspects of it, they will do what pleases you and if you ask them to dress in heels and stockings they wont say “Why do you want me to dress up like a whore”. A lot of them are cool bringing home an extra girl because they like girls as much as you do. Pity most guys don’t know how to handle this situation in a non threatening (to the relationship) manner.

True they are like snakes, in that you never know you have been poisoned until after the fact, but all in all if you survive the first few bites you will build an immunity to the stripper bites…remember most peelers do what they do cuz they are into instant gratification.

What’s odd is they are among the hardest girls you will ever try to get a date with, they hear lines and stories all day every day so unless you have an “in” you are pretty much out. How to date a Peeler is a whole nuther topic entirely but suffice it to say if you ask a peeler or if she volunteers….What she is telling you is almost certainly bullshit.

If ya ever do get “in”…well it’s so worth the occassional fall yer gonna take….I Know…been there, done that, got the T Shirt.

Gigi Writes:

Mike,

I rarely open my big mouth on legalities BUT this 2257 thang is crazy. Do they really propose we run off discs of info on our talented community and mail them to the world or at least, all the webmasters? Has noone mentioned we are sending out our talent’s real names and addresses and in a lot of cases, their social security number??? Never mind… identity theft, what if someone in a records department goes postal and shows up on an actress’s doorstep and GOD FORBID, hurts her??????????

This is reckless endangerment.

Surely, we cannot do this and sleep… EGADS in damn near 20 years, I thought I saw it all til now…Gigi Appleton

This is an interesting situation because you have two laws, seemingly in conflict. On the one hand you have the government regulating the adult industry (and this the party of LESS regulation) and on the other you have the right to privacy of the individuals who perform in these movies. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out but my guess is that 2257 will not survive in it’s current form.

Which Leads Me To This…Rare But HIGH PRAISE From Me To The Free Speech Coalition:

This time they are on the ball and they are being aggressive about it. Yesterday afternoon (Thursday) The Free Speech Coalition filed a complaint and a motion for a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of title 18 section 2257 until It has had it’s day in court. The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Colorado claims unconstitutionality on more than 20 points.

Paul Cambria, Lou Sirkin and Michael Gross are representing the Free Speech Coalition.

If you have been considering joining the Free Speech Coalition this might be a good time to do so, they should be applauded and rewarded for making a stand in this issue. Good Job Y’all.
