"I feel so conflicted...I am laughing at your reply but those things are *horrible*....;-D"

They are indeed. Shockingly hideous images, descriptions and thoughts under certain circumstances tend to have that effect on most of us.

On a related topic, from the perspective of people who've written material for public affairs work, the campaigns for this election are loaded with interesting considerations. It's one of the silliest (from my perspective) pre-election periods that I've ever seen. ...very reminiscent of histories of elections and other political efforts of over 100 years ago.

Have you seen “Gangs Of New York”?

The “election” insanity [although historically pretty accurate] looked a Monty Python skit.
