RE: Just don’t have sex, and unleash the greatness that is within you

Sex is not only perfectly healthy, gratifying and necessary, it’s also a human instinct. Will not eating, drinking and sleeping also help you “generate a quick wit, an aura of generosity and goodness, remarkable physical stature, superior judgment and unsurpassed intuition”?

Clearly not. It is this kind of thinking that prevents the world from overcoming its fear of sexuality and as Mr. Gibson has proven once again, religion is to blame. If people truly want to reach “enlightenment,” it can be achieved as easily as having an open mind.

Though Mr. Gibson preaches “only an open mind is big enough to hold the secrets of the universe,” he has clearly closed off his mind to the premise of sex as a positive activity and natural human characteristic.

RE: Sex and wine combine in Orono for college television stardom

Wow.

This is really cool. It is great that some students are taking a stab at being a more modern Dr. Ruth. Do they have any credentials to back up their conversation, not counting whatever firsthand experience they bring with them?

Is it really about wine? I got the feeling the wine was only for consumption, not for discussion.

Either way, bravo to you who are trying something new.

RE: Punishment for hit-and-run cases should be harsher

I agree with you. I can’t believe that the prior two instances [of those charged in hit-and-run cases] only served what they did. If you drive away, you show no remorse. That alone should be jail time.

I can’t believe this has happened, and now his attorney is saying they have the wrong man? I just don’t think the attorney is correct.
