Another person died "doing what she loved."
McCandless's trek to the middle of nowhere is nothing to emulate.

Another noted religious author has fallen off the wagon.

If I were 20 or 30 years younger, I would do the same thing. I don't think I could do it now at my age of 64, not with my knees not as good as they once were.

With rampant cheating by men, I don't blame Sharron Davies for being fearful of what the Olympics next year in Tokyo will bring.
If these cheating fucks are in women's events, women have to walk away from them.

Alan Dershowitz's reputation, which was never stellar in the first place with his defense of guilty clients like O.J. Simpson and Claus von Bulow, is now in the shitter for good.
Dershowitz told The New Yorker, “There was a controversy in the class, and a very small number of students objected to the teaching.” His intention, he said, was to play “devil’s advocate” in order to challenge students’ thinking. Dershowitz has not shied away from provocative ideas about sex and the law. In a 1997 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, he argued against statutory-rape laws, writing, “There must be criminal sanctions against sex with very young children, but it is doubtful whether such sanctions should apply to teenagers above the age of puberty, since voluntary sex is so common in their age group.” He suggested that fifteen was a reasonable age of consent, no matter how old the partner was. He has also argued against punishing men who hire prostitutes. In a 1985 article, in the Gainesville Sun, Dershowitz proposed that a john “who occasionally seeks to taste the forbidden fruit of sex for hire” should not be arrested. The nonprofit executive recalled his discussing the idea in class: “He said, ‘Prostitutes know what they’re doing—they should be prosecuted. But you shouldn’t ruin the john’s life over that.’ If I had raised my hand to challenge that, I would have been singling myself out as—God forbid—a feminist.”
What an ass. It shouldn't surprise anybody he would be buddies with Jeffrey Epstein.
