The incomprehensibility surrounding a person&#8217;s bisexuality has mostly to do with the fact that people impute more layers of complexity to the matter than is actually warranted.
Bisexuality is just like any other sexual identity. Merely because a bisexual [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=811&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always held the view that monogamy is neither inherently moral or immoral -- a relationship's morality is the function of the character, values, and virtues of the people involved.

Having said that, I also hold the view that monogamy is a more prudent setup--and that we consciously come to recognize it as such usually only much later in our lives--for reasons that have nothing to do with a person's character but because of the natural context that evolves around us.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=794&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Yes, it is undeniable that India has progressed appreciably in recent years; however, realize that while India rides on the shoulders of foreign and multinational giants, who lead this march towards prosperity, India simultaneously shackles them under the burden of its contradictory and arbitrary legal dictats.

		<description><![CDATA[Since childhood, I had always loved mango-flavored drinks&#8211;even artificially flavored ones. I absolutely loved mango milkshakes, mango breezes, mango smoothies, mango blasts, Mangola (a Coca Cola beverage), Frooti and Maaza (both artificial mango-flavored drinks), and Real Mango fruit juices. At any point, I would prefer one of these to any other softdrink. Strangely, however, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=774&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Practically everyone I know at work has read at least one of the major works of Ayn Rand. They seem to regard her primarily as a literary figure, and I think, they mostly don&#8217;t much agree with (or understand) her philosophy. Rand&#8217;s novels, to them, are just that&#8211;novels; not a dramatization of a true philosophy [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=773&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ted Keer has started a new blog called &#8220;Radicals for Happiness.&#8221; He&#8217;s hosted over at blogspot, but he says he will soon switch over to his own domain; I hope he chooses to host on the WordPress platform.
I was going through some of his posts, and I love&#8211;absolutely loved&#8211;the following from a post on his site:

While you&#8217;re waiting for the free market to correct itself in the event of a depression or a recession, there are real people facing dire situations&#8211;going hungry, losing their jobs, struggling to make ends meet, and so on. In such situations of widespread economic crises, shouldn&#8217;t we allow at least for a temporary stimulation by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=771&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This is totally experimental, and it&#8217;s my first time. So, my recording is very unpolished: I stammer, stutter, ramble, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ergosum.wordpress.com&blog=262552&post=770&subd=ergosum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
