The Palo Alto Hellmouth
a: The East Meadow Crossing ~
b: The Palo Alto Hellmouth
What: Yes indeed. There have a been several suicides on this spot in the last year, mostly local high school students. There has been speculation that these students were under a lot of pressure socially and academically. I've yet to see an honest assessment of what the actual causes were. People don't like to talk about this kind of event and newspapers don't like to write honestly about it for fear of offending the community. But what is it about this juncture? What's going on this city?

Gay Wood Underware?
a: Gay marriage ~
b: legalizing wool underwear
What: "I believe legalizing gay marriage is like legalizing wool underwear. Might be uncomfortable to think about, but it doesn't affect me at all. Not like I'm gonna run out for some bulk-knit jockeys right away."

a: Homosexuality ~
b: non reproductive heterosexuality
What:
"Homosexuality is like recreational and non reproductive heterosexuality and miscegenation and the widespread social acceptance of such behaviors is an indication that Occidental civilization has been replaced by an atomistic view of social relations. In practical terms all such predilections are driven by selfish, physical pleasure divorced from any sense of hierarchal responsibilities as well as a denial by the individual of any sense of purpose as a being that is endowed with a responsibility toward his own folk or the development of an organic civilization."
