I joined in April of 1999 (before the Forum Board was created, and I won't bother with the usual Lit History rundown about the old days because, really, who gives a fuck?) I joined during a period of writer's block. Writing erotica was freeing and writing my little stories behind an alias took all the pressure off and I snapped out of it. Always grateful for that. But lately my writer's block isn't really a block so much as it's an overriding sense of ennui about the point of it all. There is plenty of art out there, and more access to it now than ever before --- but it really seems like people are getting stupider. I'd write about it but I feel like it wouldn't change anything. I've come to the conclusion that stupid people are going to kill everybody. I wish art could save the world, but it can't.

Maybe I should write more porn.
 
1. Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult. Hippocrates

2. Stupid people aren't going to kill everybody; those who think they are the smartest might.

3. Definitely write more porn: Mingle your care with pleasure now and then. Cato

Oh, I'm convinced stupid people are going to kill us all. Stupidity has legs.
 
Of course people are getting dumber. They move into bubbles where they don't learn anything new.
 
While it is VERY unlikely, stupid people could blow up the world tomorrow. But why isn't that a reason TO make art, or porn? No one asked to be born and No one can fix the world. Why not enjoy the positives, weather the negative, and wring as much joy out of this crazy thing called Life as you possibly can! (Also, there are people you can talk to about dark thoughts that won't judge you or treat you like a fragile handgrenade.)

Thanks. You really don't know me lol. I've got positivity leaking out of my ears. But thanks.

The world can be changed by a handful of smart dedicated people. It can also be poisoned by a small number of bigoted imbeciles. The latter are gaining ground. Don't think they aren't.

And the sad thing is they’re arming themselves to the teeth as well. Sometimes it just feels like our country is a powder keg.

That's what it took for slavery to end. The buildup to it involved greater and greater legislative injustice.

Also, it's not lost on me that the losers started the war that time, and they'll lose if they do it again too.

I don't want one, but if they do bring it, chips will fall where they may.
 
Write a sexy story for us about a night club, complete with bar tenders, cocktail waitresses, magicians, beautiful assistants, standup comics and hecklers. You know you can.
