You write in your book about the Abu Ghraib scandal. What did it reveal about American sexuality?
What it revealed is that when these people wanted to humiliate the prisoners at Abu Ghraib, they thought in terms of porn. That in itself is noteworthy. The language of humiliation is the language of sexual humiliation in porn. The upshot of it is that the prisoners were cast in the role of the "bitch" in humiliation porn.
Which is traditionally the female role, right?
That's really what they did. They turned them into females, knowing that it was one of the most horrible things they could do, culturally. It's a commentary on American identity in most cultures. Part of the Great Satan label is not only our military might but also our going into a culture that's very inhibited and very modest with a culture of porn.
 - Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries (Paperback)
Sep 16, 6:27am (2 reviews) activism, politics, democracy, book, revolution http://www.buzzflash.com/store/items/127...- It is prima facie evidence of how far we have strayed as a nation from our revolutionary roots that the word "revolution" has become a pejorative when applied to contemporary politics. To England, the founders of this nation were revolutionaries and radicals. Yet today, adherence to the status quo and to an authoritarian state is considered "patriotic." King George no doubt would support the same notion.

 - Amazon.com: Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries:...
Sep 16, 6:23am (2 reviews) activism, liberties, democracy, book http://www.amazon.com/Give-Me-Liberty-Ha...- As the practice of democracy becomes a lost art, Americans are increasingly desperate for a restored nation. Many have a general sense that the "system" is in disorder -- if not on the road to functional collapse. But though it is easy to identify our political problems, the solutions are not always as clear. In Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries, bestselling author Naomi Wolf illustrates the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community, and ultimately, the nation.

Invisible
melt my heart
i fall apart
down on my knees
looking for
peace
lost in thought
only i fought
to let love
live in me
do i deserve this
misery?
havie i chosen
this lifeless motion
to sit and wait
for my fate
for self-hate
instead of love
instead of peace
this push and shove
has shown me
how to hide
from everything
why can't i change?
why can't i be
the things
i want to be?
doesn't god know that
i'm a horrible me?
this heavy weight
i've learn to carry
defines me
who was it?
who first convinced me
i was horrible
i was unlovable
i was not normal?
who taught me to be
so afraid
so still
and quiet
