Here: Feed Your Mind and Spirit!

Behold: Patriarchal-looking Douglas firs, standing erect in the forest and thrusting boldly into the sky! (But they aren't all Douglas firs; the one on the right is a cedar.)

I took this picture. . . ah. . only yesterday, in fact!

All right, that was your eye candy; your dessert—which certain philosophers advise us to "eat first".

Now comes the main meal. It is solid meat and potatoes, with lots and lots of gravy:

You might not agree with every statement the author of this article makes, but all in all you will find that the article richly repays your reading time. I would advise multiple readings, and I would advise that you archive it locally and bring it to the attention of others who would profit by such exposure.

A parting thought. As you are studying the material which I have linked above, do bear in mind that a man who is unjustly accused of rape may "possibly benefit from the experience", and that even if he does not so benefit, the experience should ideally set in motion a train of reflection about the oppression of women, and that when he reflects upon the terrible things that are being done to women in a distant country halfway around the world, he will understand that he has nothing to complain about. Then maybe he will shut his privileged yapper and go to prison with a smile, and maybe writers like me will grow a moral conscience and similarly shut the hell up!
