Author's note: I wrote this blog post a few days ago. Soon after posting it, I felt as if I shouldn't have and reverted it to a draft. I figured it wouldn't do any harm to remove it as it had only been up for a few seconds. It's been interesting to see the reaction of my friends and readers, some of whom disagreed with any revision after an article had been posted.
I believe in transparency. I don't intend for this to happen again; I'll be more cautious than before about what I post. I'd like to make it clear that the primary reason that I'm posting now what I did before primarily because my conscience is clear regarding it, not because of pressure.
I attribute my unsettled feelings to the fact that as I looked for images suitable to make into posters, I came across many unsavory images, despite my best efforts to avoid them. The effects of these images has diminished over the intervening days, but was intense. This experience has served to remind me how acutely dangerous pornography is. Needless to say, I'll be even more careful than before to avoid it.
Below this line, this post is identical to what I posted a few days ago.
I hope my readers will enjoy the little posters I made. I don't mind if you take my ideas and modify them, but you might want to check with the owners of the images (listed below).
Yes, a healthy glow looks good. But all you need for that is to emerge occasionally from your cave.
I think that too many of us believe that we're actually more productive when under the influence. I don't buy it.
It has always mystified me that people extol alcohol for making social interactions easier. I think we'd be better off if we actually learned to face our fears. Also, ethanol reeks.
Secondhand smoke is vile. Please stop.
NYC is full of people who clearly spend time exercising – and who smoke. Clearly, their objective is not long life.
I'm not sure if I can think of anything that would send me running faster than a girl who smells like smoke. Gross.
But buying on credit seems to be normal. Why would you do that?
This one kind of sums up the rest of them.
