[lbo-talk] lbo-talk] Re: light of my life, maybe not the fire of my loins

[Mike Ballard]

For the record, I'm not interested in throwing people
into jail because they choose to practice pretend
sadism and masochism.  I do think that there is a
social psychological connection between class
dominated society and the various practices (both hard
and soft) of sado-masochism.  Certain people get off
on torture, both real and imagined.  I'm for stopping
real torture, real harm to other human beings.  We
should be beyond that by now, just as we should have
abolished wage-slavery by now.  I think that one of
the reasons that we're still living in a class society
is the way we are socialized to accept dominance and
submission rituals.  

So, it's ok with me, if you want to go back to work
now Justin.  I realize that you have freely made your
contracts with your employers.  I don't want to put
you in jail for having to be a bondsman, a wage-slave.

 I just want to destroy your lords' and masters' jail.

Best,
Mike B)
