The sad but true reason that there is a trend in no underwear is because once again, our celebrity culture, for better or for worse, is leading the way in exposed private parts.

Most people do not keep up on local, state or national politics, and make voting decisions based on very little information.

The internet and the technology that we have today make information readily available at a speed we’ve never had before. We can drum up information from someone’s kindergarten years if we want to.
