  1. Reading the comments in regards to the SF Toys for Tots link, it seems like a lot of people really support the ladies who organized this. It’s good to see that the chief is likely in the minority on this one.

  2. Also, I’ve always liked Aurora Snow, and for being active in pornography for a decade, she’s managed to maintain her enthusiasm on camera. It’s also pleasing to see that she is articulate in defending her trade.
