Our next gathering at Sweetwaters is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, July 24th at 7:00pm. Afterwards, we will be going bowling together at Bel Mark lanes, where each game is $1. Please mark your calendars!
Also, we want to discuss topics that are of interest to you. So to help us plan for our night's discussion, please post "what's on your mind" on this blog. Anything and everything is valid, as long as it is something that is genuinely on your mind. Your feedback will help shape The Night Life and our discussion for the evening!

University of Michigan Law Professor Catharine A. MacKinnon is among the world's leading experts on relations between the sexes and their relationship to both civil and international law. She is an outspoken opponent of pornography and sexual exploitation in all its forms, and one of several prominent founding mothers of contemporary academic feminism. Even within the feminist movement, her extreme views have caused a stir, despite her great success in advancing the frontiers of sexual harassment law in the United States, and winning substantial compensation for female victims of war crimes abroad, particularly in the former Yugoslavia.
To boil her very complex and long-evolved legal and philosophical views (and the opposing viewpoint) down to a relatively simple, if rather longwinded and loaded question: Are those people, women or men, who knowingly or consensually undress or engage in sexual behaviors before a public audience (for example, pornographic film), those who directly promote this behavior by way of paying the actors or actresses directly, and those who support this behavior by viewing it remotely, worthy of sanction, protection or even tolerance on moral (i.e. religious), ethical (i.e. secular philosophical) or legal grounds?
