Bondage

Whatever Turns Them On? Inside the Minds of Masochists.

This is an article about a business man suing a British tabloid for a story than ran about his bondage adventures. It's sad that we live in a world where this guy can be punished for wanting to receive pain, but they won't inflict the death penalty on rapists and child molesters. Yeah, I know, I'm really talking about two different countries (mine and theirs), but sometimes it feels like the law exists more to intimidate than to provide structure. In that sense I don't blame people for not paying their taxes even though I think taxes are necessary in a society and should cause more excitement. But that would assume we have some worthwhile leaders, too. And no leader is.

I also have to wonder if these behaviors are as misunderstood as the article says. They seem pretty natural to me.
