  Go read some Bin Laden. They made us read it in college. They being the liberal elites obviously (tounge halfway in cheek). 9/11 was my first week on campus.

  The passages which I remember the most were about how he was all pissed about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky - and how it reflected our larger culture.

  But, all the liberals in America, who have never read Bin Laden, want to blame Bush for 9/11. Which makes no sense.

  relevancy alert. A year an a half ago I was casually dating a NYU undergrad, I think she was a sophomore (no, I didn't pay for the sex). Her roommate - who was really good looking - had the same type of sugar daddy thing going on as this essayist. The dude would pay her around 3 grand a month to sleep with him whenever he asked. She seemed like a normal girl, but obviously there some something wrong. Which gets me back to my original point. When did materialism become more important than values or elementary ethics? Is it all the advertising? Was it Carrie Bradshaw?

  Now, I look back on my college career and I have my regrets. But they're nothing compared to what these chicks are going to remember about their college experience. Those expensive shoes and handbags will all have withered away - and they'll be left with the knowledge that they were prostitutes.

  At least some phychiatrists may make some money down the road.

  We need to fundamentally change what we value as a society. I'll do my part, try to do yours.
