I'm going to create some jobs now.

I didn't know what this blog was going to be about when I first started it. I listen to podcasts and watch MSNBC every day and some of the topics were so interesting, I would take notes about essays I wanted to write when I had time: The ideals of the Democratic Party, how we see the world, and the evolution of society we strive for; also morality, atheists has it; and other topics I can't quite remember at the moment.

 I haven't yet had the time to write those essays, usually I end up just commenting on a couple of things, maybe analyzing some news, maybe explaining my thoughts about some issue.

Except for when I solve national crises. Which I've done twice now. And now, I'm gonna create some jobs (before I write the essay about economic development and job creation I meant to lo these many weeks ago.)

I have two plans, totally unrelated. One you will probably hate at the beginning, and then realize I am totally right, and the other one, I dunno, maybe it will always just be me who likes it.

1. I think we should charge for online porn.

1. Seriously, I think we should charge for online porn. As in, there will be NO more free online porn. I am not a prude or anti-porn; I am a tolerant person who cares about the well-being of every person on this planet. And charging for porn accomplishes a grab-bag of good things.

• It provides a revenue stream to professional sex workers and the porn industry
• Price allocates. And we need to allocate access to porn away from children and teenagers. Because boys and girls involved in porn... that is not what we want. We don't want a generation of predator and prey. And we do not want a generation of our children believing sex is currency, and relationships between and within sexes merely a sexual transaction
• It will create jobs

2. I think that Border towns should welcome visitors by providing clean hotel rooms, restaurants, legitimate employment agencies, special banking accounts (legal, not predatory), laundromats, cheap cars, car rentals, and whatever else they would like to spend their money on while they are in town. I have no idea why anyone would countenance border coyotes when that money does nothing for the local economy, and it could.


Make no mistake. I am ~ completely ~ totally ~ without reservation ~ advocating that we build no more walls no matter how high, that we tolerate no more citizen border patrols, that we spend no more dollars, -- not one more red cent -- on policing the Mexican border.

I am advocating that we building welcome centers.
