What do ‘normal’ men do after dark in Hollywood? Think drinking tequila makes us look like this billboard for Deleon. Think military tee shirts will up the chance of a date if worn at a bar.

Whether we like it or not, the essence of democracy is about presenting a whole range of views on any topic. “Truth is like a diamond, it has many sides” or so my mentor tells me. Characters who (for whatever reason) play the role of a ‘villain’ are often cast in the role of giving [...]
