Caleb: You are obviously a terrible Brooklynite & homosexual. Now you have to move to Ohio & marry a girl. And be monogamous. RURAL Ohio! Fuck it, better make it Utah.
I spend a lot of time thinking about (from...
What civilization would be like if we had to re-build it from the ground up. (You can thank Battlestar Galactica for this.) Would it take women 2,000+ years to be treated almost as equally as men, and even then, in only some parts of the world? Would race and racism exist? Religion would undoubtedly re-build itself.
