It seems spammerBoy brought out a unified response from members here. This response reminds me of the old forums where categorized topics and subtopics were debated, cheered on or relegated to obscurity. I miss the old forum as they were a place to ruminated or regurgitate diverse writing themes between writing spurts.

Topic: Secret police in the making? (0 replies, posted in SPY FICTION)
Like the NAZI of the 1930s a secret force may be created by Herr Trump to check the status of all citizens of the USA and from that an underground resistance movement will start up. My mother remained a British citizen all her life, would that somehow cast me into the realm of Herr Trump's draconian measures to eventually cleanse America of all immigrant infiltrates?
In the realm of futuristic spy fiction (and reality) the pieces of the chessboard of espionage and dastardly deeds are in the 'defeat' planning stages. Herr Trump will resonate for years even when he ends up in the trash bin of failed presidential candidates. He will not sit by in his money towers allowing elected civil servants free reign. He will plot and scheme to become King of America at some future date.
I do recall Adolf and friends did deport many who didn't fit their stratified credo of Aryan supremacy... and then the Holocaust happened. Herr Trump will spur a genesis of spycraft world wide. And, this is very good for the Spy genre in both fiction and nonfiction.

Re: Can one feel oneself turn beet red? (19 replies, posted in Writing Tips & Site Help)
Thanks for asking this Norm. In looking it up I discovered something useful for a series of characters I'm building ( and I did wonder if a sex flush remained after death):
Sex flush
Commonly referred to as the sex flush, vasocongestion (increased blood flow) of the skin can occur during all four phases of the human sexual response cycle. Studies show that the sex flush occurs in approximately 50–75% of females and 25% of males, yet not consistently. The sex flush tends to occur more often under warmer conditions and may not appear at all under cooler temperatures.
During the female sex flush, pinkish spots develop under the breasts, then spread to the breasts, torso, face, hands, soles of the feet, and possibly over the entire body. Vasocongestion is also responsible for the darkening of the clitoris and the walls of the vagina during sexual arousal. During the male sex flush, the coloration of the skin develops less consistently than in the female, but typically starts with the epigastrium (upper abdomen), spreads across the chest, then continues to the neck, face, forehead, back, and sometimes, shoulders and forearms.
The sex flush typically disappears soon after orgasm occurs, but in other cases it may take up to two hours or so, and sometimes intense sweating occurs simultaneously.
Sorry I went off the topic a bit, but perhaps other writers can use this bit of info since we all have sex as do many of our characters.

Sorry Max, but I have to disagree. Whatever you think Bernie Madoff deserved, how can you argue that his son deserved to be driven to suicide?
I sometimes favor draconian punishments, but I'm sensitive about saying that the people around the malefactors deserve to suffer with them, especially when it leads to suicide.
I, of course meant that Bernie paid the price in grief and sorrow. From context it is pretty clear what I meant. Unless you are a survivor of suicide (of a loved one) you'll never understand what I meant. Also, I would imagine that many hundreds of people who lost millions to Madoff are thrilled to death that a relative of Madoff offed himself and may wish all his sons follow suit.
Anyway... The first word that comes to mind is:

We're back at it... or perhaps it never stopped? Why are Russia and America always playing the espionage and assassination cards? I asked my Russian girlfriend why she didn't return to RUssia, reap the rewards of going to a RUssian law school. Her reply: They kill lawyers there. Well, yes, it appears they do and they are sometimes state sponsored.

Seems to me that this sculpture might closer to the truth with Bernie Madoff farting on investors and ramming Wall Street up the butt. Of course, he did get what was coming to him; imprisonment and the suicide of a son. BTW- I came across this sculpture months ago in Art Forum, and as for being against the national interest and censored, that seems far fetched. Of course, the majority of Americans are readers of the National Inquirer, but even there this would be tasty fodder for tiny minds to further indict Wall Street. Thanks for posting this Dill,

THE BIRDS & THE BEES
This topic, to me, is a horror story ready to climb up the evolutionary change of command. What if some virus did the same to human females, brought about the accelerated secretion of sex pheromones? Of course Big Pharma would be the first to capitalize. When again, maybe this is already happening in the female body and Big Perfume has capitalized on this. I know that when I catch the scent of a woman I become like a little puppy, driven to Casanova mode.
