Mistress Says: Join the Summer Reading Club, Slave!
It's Always the Quiet Ones
The Secret of Leatherbound Books Revealed

Sorry, I couldn't go with a single headline to describe this story about a Washington librarian who was discovered to be into S & M. She even had a Web site, but Google's not caught on yet in non-technological industries's recruitment habits.

Within any profession, including librarians, teachers, and even certain presidents, you'll find a swath of lifestyle choices, including some sexual practices which some people would find unaesthetical at best and an abomination at worst. But like this lady says, she's a reasonable person who can keep her hot side hot and her cool side cool and can separate work from play. I'm a firm believer in the public face/private face dichotomy since I like to project a strong, firm image to the people I meet and only when I get to know people do I admit I have cats.

My quickly-leaping mind has landed upon the conclusion that this reflects the proper culmination of the "let it all hang out" philosophy of the unbridled and paradigm-dumping youth movements of our country. Now that those youths have let out enough to be hung with, the peers who encouraged it can tighten the noose. So be it. And in twenty years, the only people that the baby boomers will have left to vote for and to hire for any position requiring public trust will be six guys and eight woment who have lied about their pasts.

Or maybe the rest of us will grow up by then.
