Well, I would rather hear about your trip to the store for cigs and Fresca than another person who was stupid enough to get their car impounded. I feel kind of honored to know someone who made the move to another country and enmeshed themselves into the culture without it having to have some sort of angle. I hope you understand where I am coming from. I come from New York originally, although I have been here for many years. Mexico, regardless of its proximity to San Diego, still remains to me an exotic locale, and one that I respect.— November 27, 2010 8:13 p.m.

I think my writing embarrasses my husband, too. But honesty has to be a factor in what you write if it is non-fiction. Maybe not so much embarrassed, but afraid I might disclose something. I come from a far less buttoned-up family than he, and we are all literally an open book. I guess I can understand that. What I am having a difficult time with is why would you not continue to write the truth about where you live? Anyone with half a brain finds your stories far more entertaining and really eye-opening. I find sensationalism boring and played-out. It's just recycled crap that no one that has spent any time in Tijuana believes anyway. Do you think too much time has passed since 9/11 and people want to mythologize theses stories into truth? I don't get it. I wish people would just start going back. It's such a great place to eat and shop and people watch. Just like a lot of places here. Other people from out of the area think OB is a cesspool. They are clueless about the culture and I say good riddance. You would not be happy here anyway.— November 27, 2010 7:22 p.m.

Nice!! "but he'll as soon blame a woman for his own insecurity than he'll look at himself in the mirror and admit that he'll never understand what she feels when they're naked and rolling around in the sheets" - this is summed up in advertising, where mostly male advertisers hyper-sexualize everything from soap to cars. Most women shake their heads in bemusement at these ads, because sometimes it is ridiculous - HOW does a naked woman factor into a car transmission? But it's easier to reduce women to objects than try to understand what makes them tick - and admit that you might just be a little bit afraid of them. I am not referring to men like yourself or my husband, who LOVE women and have nothing but respect for them. And a little healthy fear ;)— November 27, 2010 5:58 p.m.

I made myself watch it, nan. I had to see for myself what really happens to these animals. There is nothing that can prepare you for that kind of horror. If I could get my hands on these monsters I am afraid of what I would do. It is just as bad in slaughterhouses, where the workers abuse the animals in unspeakable ways. I think that the people that do this line of work would kill people if they could get away with it. They become addicted to the fear and pain they generate, because they have so little power in their lives. The average slaughterhouse employee works in horrendous conditions, many without health coverage. They take it out on the animals.— November 27, 2010 5:03 p.m.

A lot of people did not care for that book, but I did not find it sexist. I actually thought it was almost a textbook "men are pigs" testament, that all men think about is sex, which, truth be told, they do, and he had the guts to write a monologue about it. But the underlying emotion of that book, while funny, was shame. So that is what I believe caused some to squirm. Speaking of Suz, where is that girl?— November 27, 2010 4:30 p.m.

I know! We should be showering Willie with pot, baking it in brownies and offering them at his feet, which we have annointed with hash oil!!— November 27, 2010 3:58 p.m.

Me, too. I actually cried for hours after watching that movie. I knew it would be graphic, but that clip made me almost pass out. I won't go into detail, but the animal was still alive without its skin. It was blinking. And the guy that did it was laughing. The fur industry is horrific. Anyone who buys fur promotes death in the cruelest manner imaginable.— November 27, 2010 3:52 p.m.

Sex sells!! Oh, come on, you have to share your porno stories...not fair!! Yeah, I suppose that stuff would be kind of difficult to write, from a women's perspective. I can see where men would be better at it. Did you know that many women do not like Philip Roth? Said he is a misogynist. I never got that from his writing, I always actually found his writing made me sad. He has a romantic quality to his writing, too. There is a great scene in the last Terminator, where the girl terminator gets pulled over and she looks up a billboard with a picture of a woman with big boobs, and her boobs get bigger as the cop is walking up to her window. As for Willie, I posted on Facebook today that he needs to stop putting his name on his tour bus. Like shooting fish in a barrel!! Of course they are going to find weed. I mean, honestly, what are they going to do? Put Willie in prison for a baggie of pot?— November 27, 2010 3:41 p.m.
