Depilatory creams...
You know, Nair and such. Hair removal creams. I never really thought much about them growing up as I was fairly lightly haired for a man. I mean, I had FIVE hairs on my chest until I was 28 years old! Then I think I hit a second puberty or something because I started growing hair everywhere. This has brought my thoughts to depilatory creams.
I've been a fan of science fiction for as long as I can remember and I'm a voracious reader. One common item that has recurred from author to author, fictional universe to fictional universe; has been depilatory creams. Men don't shave they use a depilatory cream with an added hair growth inhibitor. No fuss no muss! Hair management nirvana!
WHER ARE THEY? Seriously people. Nair for Men is annoying and falls far short of the lofty predictions of even the most lackluster hacks in the science fiction genre! The stuff doesn't get you 100% smooth and doesn't have a hair growth inhibitor! WTH people! The ones designed for use specifically on the face are not any better even though they carry a HUGE price-tag, compared to the ones designed for overall body use.
Any chemists, cosmetologists or mad scientists out there want to get this taken care of for me? I'm tired of being stuck in the present awaiting a brighter future where I can be hair free! ;-)

American Foreign Policy
**NEWS FLASH** THE SOVIET UNION IS GONE! THE COLD WAR IS OVER!
There MAY have been some justification for the United States supporting foreign dictators, monarchies, theocracies, etc... during the Cold War; as a counter to Soviet expansionism. However, those days are long gone. In the world of today, American Interventionism only strengthens our enemies. It's hard to stir up terrorist zeal against people that aren't interfering in your country's internal workings. It's hard to paint the country leading the way for democracy, BY EXAMPLE, as evil, hypocritical imperialists. By supporting non-democratic forms of government both financially and militarily, we are proving to the world our hypocrisy. We are undermining our claims of promoting democracy with un-democratic ACTIONS of supporting dictators, juntas, monarchies and communists. We are using our blood and treasure to create enemies where none would normally exist!
Anyone that says we should be non-interventionist is accused of isolationism. Apparently we can't peacefully co-exist with other nations as trading partners. We must force them do do as we desire, no matter the cost. How has that been working out for us since the collapse of the Soviet Union and who benefits? Democracy doesn't benefit, the average US Citizen doesn't benefit. The only people that I can see possibly benefiting are multinational corporations and their corrupt political henchmen.
Stop foreign aid, bring our troops home, close down the foreign military bases we have around the globe. Let's get down to rebuilding American industry and SHOW the world how Democracy is supposed to work. Let's lead by example. Let's be the shining beacon for the world to follow willingly!
