The marvelous Ani DiFranco

People should have sex, if they already do, they should have more.

Sex is nature, it's the most humane, natural act a human being can ever do. It can be accompanied by love, or not.

Sex should never be tagged under the humiliating, barbarian title of TABOO. If anything is taboo, it's the deprivation of having or giving sex, on what ever reason [sexuality, under age, gender,...].

If anything is HARAM, it's the war on contraception and family planning methods. These wars might have ended ages before, but today they present in the attack against 'clear, scientific and widely-spread/popular' sexual education programs that considers human beings as they are, not as slave to gods and fake traditions. I'm talking about an educational system that considers sexual activities [how ever wild, or calm, unilateralism, bilateral or multilateral, homo or hetro or blah-sexual they are] as a natural course for human being not as a way of production of the future generations].

Sex should have no etiquettes, except those put by the involved him/herself /themselves. It should have no measures, criterias, length, sizes, pressures ..... It's as natural as the green leaves of a lemon tree. Emma Goldman says: "It is essential that we realize once and for all that man is much more of a sex creature than a moral creature. The former is inherent, the other is grafted on."

Our genitals are our doors to pleasure. Pleasure is something beautiful. Besides hope, it's what makes us moving, living, fighting and loving.

People should shake their genitals as much as they shake hands. This might be one of the solutions I offer to safe the world and mother nature.

The Jewish Internet Defense Force, a group that claims to have 5,000 members worldwide, says it is steadily removing members from a viciously anti-Israel and anti-Semitic group on Facebook, having taken control of the group on Sunday.

"Facebook wouldn't do anything about [the group], so we did what had to be done," the group posted on its Web site. "We're not sure how long this can or will last, so we're moving fast to do what needs to be done."
