    “Let’s talk about sex bay-bee… Let’s talk about you and me… Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be.” [Salt ‘N’ Pepa] Let’s talk about cats and dogs… Let’s talk about philosophy… Let’s talk about crime… Let’s talk about sexual predators… Let’s talk about hunger… Let’s talk about homelessness……
