Dan Asked...

1)Out of the Seven Deadly Sins, which one, if you could, would you remove as a trait of mankind in the hopes that people would become much more unified and caring towards one another?

Without question it would be greed. I think greed has caused more death and anguish than just about anything except perhaps religion.

2)You have said that over the past year or so your sexuality and desires have become more diverse... Do you foresee a limit? And if so, do you imagine that that limit will get pushed further away just as your original limits did?

There are a few things I cannot ever imagine doing under any circumstances. Other than those few things, no, I don't really see a definite limit any more. If there's one thing I've learned in the past year it's to never say never when it comes to my sexuality. There are still plenty of things I don't see myself doing right now and *probably* ever - whipping someone until there are whelps or more, humiliating someone (worthless worm sort of thing), electricity play, breath play to name a few. However, if I found myself single again and a future partner was really, really turned on by these things, they're not as far out of reach as I at one time thought they were. I do believe those things would *only* appeal under that circumstance as they hold zero appeal to me now. These activities would be vehicles to controlling their physical pleasure and also mentally. That's what would make these activities appealing.

3)FUN Time... YOU wake up tomorrow and ALL chocolate is banned in the U.S.A! What do YOU do? LOL

Move!

4)Dreams, are they significant and relevant enough that one should try to interpret their meaning and use them to help govern their life OR are they just mumble jumble your subconscious mind goes through to "blow off steam" to cope with the "everyday" schtuffies in life?

Just my thoughts? yes and yes. Sometimes ;) Some dreams are pretty easy to interpret and I think they stand the best chance of meaning something. For example, sometimes when we're anxious or afraid we'll dream about something really scary but not necessarily the thing about which we are either anxious or afraid. Dreaming helps us relieve those pent up emotions. Most of the time I think our dreams are just our way of trying to rid ourselves of the things that are floating around in our subconscious - and not even necessarily significant things.

5)Internet blog "hecklers", ignore OR respond... which is the better way to deal with those types?

I'm sure the answer is to ignore them (as many of you have told me). Initially I didn't censor them because I just didn't like the idea of censoring. I like open discourse even if it means putting up with a few jerks. Lately I've begun to delete deliberately annoying comments for the most part. Rarely now I will print their comments because I think there may be others with the same question and I want to answer (for a couple different reasons). It's easy to misunderstand things especially in this medium so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Second, there are so many people out there without a clue and they generally are the ones who think things similar to the questions left by hecklers. It sometimes seems an opportunity to educate.

Hope my answers are clear. It's been a draining few days so if they aren't, ask :)
