R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy ~ Live Long and Prosper...

Alas Leonard Nimoy has passed away at 83 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which he attributed to years of smoking cigs. Born and raised in Boston's West End by immigrant Jews from Soviet Ukraine, he's perhaps best remembered for his enduring portrayal of the mostly logical half-Vulcan Mr Spock on Star Trek, where his signature hand-gesture emerged and also the tagline which inspired me and so many others -- "Live Long and Prosper"

Topless Warriors ~ Ukrainian FEMEN Heroines!

These Ukranian babes are truly righteous beauties! They protest against political stupidity and unwise conformity and gross corruption. Yes, indeed, the lovely and courageous FEMEN women are my heroines! Of course, to be clear, I think prostitution per-se as chosen profession ought to be quite legitimate and as a career should have the same freedoms as all others. But I completely understand and agree with the FEMEN rejection of the all-too-frequent forced servitude and the despicable abuses inherent in contemporary sextrade. Thanks to IEET for spotting!
