  This is a little bit of a game I play with myself... word association. The point is to begin with simple words and word purpose, like nouns and verbs, and then move onto the larger part of my vocabulary with more extraordinary words and greater meaning or ideas behind those words. It's like a pre-writing warm-up exercise. What can you pop out of your brain? Strings and things Pulleys and gullies Ropes and hopes Trees and breezes Seas and keys Heart and part Song and wrong Sigh and fly Petal and metal Pluck and funk Goals and Souls Dismember and Remember Metal trees in my dreams with pulleys as fruit And I with ladder in hand Climbed each branch Threading rope Through the loops attached each one to my head My hair forcing the pulleys to spin Bending the tree My way Uprooting and replanting Moving forward Slowly Steadily In artistic drudgery The wheels spin but the hamster is dead Or is it?

This is something that affects all adults, no matter your sexual orientation.   At this moment, I am trying to count on my fingers how many people I know who would turn away oral sex. Some may turn away from anal sex, but oral? I can't name a a single person who would turn away from one of the two forms of pleasure or even both.   Cuccinelli is claiming that the law would protect children. We already have laws that prosecute child molesters. Why do we need this law?  We don't .  He constantly fails to make connections that could repeatedly hurt the residents of this state...
