Totsl respect for lesbians. But as a hetero man, I am attracted to the female form and feminine aspects of beauty. I assume that lesbians, who are also attracted to women, would also be attracted to feminine-looking people. Yet so many have masculine ways of style and dress. Why is that? Gay men don't get all femmed out- they are usually quite masculine. It seems to me if you are attracted to women, you wouldn't want to be with a woman that looks like a man. I know not all lesbians are butch, but there seems to be way more butch lesbians (per capita) than there are drag-queen gay men. Please don't answer this question if you just want to take a cheap shot at men or get into semantic arguments about what "feminine" and "masculine" mean.

I tend to have chronic stomach troubles and pain. I have seen my doctor (before you say that in the response). Can anyone recommend some good herbs or supplements to strengthen and soothe the stomach?

I use Firefox as my browser. I have downloaded and installed the latest version. When I save a pic to my hard drive, it takes about 5 seconds whereas it used to seem instant. I have cable broadband access, so I know that's not the issue. When I go to options->clear download manager history, the program freezes up and won't respond. I have a lot of downloads in that cache, and think that may be part of the program, but I can't delete them. Any ideas what the problem might be and how I can fix it?

I am using Firefox. I just downloaded the 1.7 version; that didn't seem to help. I can't clear the download history-- I get the hourglass and the program doesn't respond. Anyone got any good ideas?

Lots of women and girls wear white belts made of leather or cotton nowadays, often with jeans. I can't find anything on the internet about when they became popular, and who popularized them. Seems like they've bcome popular in the last 3-6 years. Anyone know the background info?

In the State of the Union address, Shrub said he wanted to make human-aminal hybrids illegal. Assuming we have the technology, what animal would you combine yourself with before it is made illegal? What traits would you have?

Pick one per response. Keep them relatively brief-- no entire sonnets or soliloquies, please. One-liners are preferable. Please include what play and character they come from; if you can quote the act and scene, so much the better (but not entirely necessary).

Also, why does this particular quote strike a chord with you?

We will put this one to a vote when all the answers are in!

Would you rather be a lover or a hayta?

...but love to restrict personal freedoms like what we can do with our own bodies, freedom of speech and the press, and what we can produce or watch on TV?

Alright, it's a hypothetical. Assume each candidate got their party's nomination, and the election is today. Whch candidate would you vote for and why?

I've been thinking a lot about this story a lot lately. It is not important to me whether they were real or not-- the lessons of the story are important. Is it important if they were real people or not? What lessons have you learned from the tale of the creation of man and especially the expulsion from Eden?

In the last 5 years, the Bush Administration has destroyed the credibility and reputation that America once enjoyed. How can Americans restore or try to restore our good name in the world once the Bushies are out?
