I have long felt that by setting an impossibly high standard, he caused the area to be abandoned (practically) as a reachable standard.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my new cam description borrowed from a friend: &quot;He has inspired many, comforted the afflicted, and afflicted the comfortable. He reflects back to people their most gorgeous selves, shares teachings of love, pricks egos, and calls others, by his very being, to truth and integrity. For some YML is a teacher, for others a spiritual friend, for still others a spiritual artist, and for still others a revolutionary catalyst of social change. In the words of one leading feminist, YML combines radical brilliance with a willingness to be vulnerable, and radical kindness with an ability to probe deeply.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yourmoralleader.camstreams.com\/\">From my live cam chat<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>guest49:&nbsp; Instead of being a &quot;moral leader&quot; &#8211; a bit of sarcasm that has gotten old &#8211; you need to begin captioning yourself as something else.&nbsp; Why not &quot;Luke Ford, Spiritual Artist?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; g92 that sounds gay<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Have you any eggs?<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; i know her &#8211; she&#8217;s all woman<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; yes, some are scrabled<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; More sarcasm?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; thanks hon&#8230;.your all man and then some<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; g92, the homosexual is known to be attempting to insinuate himself into this otherwise healthy heterosexual milleau, hence my skepticism<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; 49, you get stuck in the rain?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Sometimes they go so far as to marry a woman, just to deny another man a chance at heterosexual happiness and thus make him more vulnerable (they falsely suppose) to the blandishments of their gay selves.<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Rain?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; its raining men&#8230;.<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; It&#8217;s been like a desert here<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; where&#8217;s that?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Pahrump, Nevada<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Where do you live?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; one hump or 2?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; yenemsvelt<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Pahrump is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Where is yenemsvelt?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; where I am<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Is it in a city with a real name?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; as real as this chatroom<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Sounds like you use these chat rooms as fantasy playgrounds for escaping from life<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; whats life?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; An essential characteristic of the vagina-averse homosexual<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; whats wrong with a little fantasy play?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; It is boring<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; not with Luke in a mankini its not<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Andlife is too short for it<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; mankini?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; wait for the photos.. coming soon<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Real life is what we live here in Pahrump<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; I&#8217;m putting the finish touches (sequins) <br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; We live life in the raw.<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; I just live on my rump<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; You could do that here.&nbsp; Brothels are legal here<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; I didn&#8217;t say I allow others on my rump<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Soon Brother Obama will be POTUS<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; 100 days to go<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Luke, you need to try out Radiohead.<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; i heard they instituted a 4 day work week in nevada?&nbsp; is this true?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Maybe some Coldplay.&nbsp; Just to let the younguns know you still have a pulse<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; No it is not true<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Very little regulation here<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; No state income tax<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Low cost of living, outside of Las Vegas<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Plenty of culture.<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; heidi i&#8217;m comin to find me a man there<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Many men here.<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; What sort are you pining for whom you might plausibly get?<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; i want a heidi fleiss man without a bird<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; She is simply a media story, nothing more<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; someone who will covet my semi fresh eggs<br \/>\nguest92:&nbsp; but you will seem to think the chances are as slim as my thighs<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Luke, why not consider spending part of your year in Pahrump?<br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; and leave the hovel?<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; You could get a decently paying gig here that would let you keep your pad in LA and get material for new books<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; He could be a greeter at one of the local hovels<br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; meet me&nbsp; greet me and please me<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Also, there is rumor that the same Jews who went into Postville, sensing the end there is near, are looking to establish a &quot;glatt kosher&quot;&nbsp;establshment in Pahrump<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Luke, this is a big opportunity<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Part of your faith<br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; it is a big mitzvah&nbsp; plus i get paid with tips<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; In fact, Luke, why shouldn&#8217;t YOU be the one to open?<br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; i will fund this endeavor<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; It would be legal, safe, you have no criminal background to complicate licensure<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; And it would be kosher<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Sometimes my genius scares me<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; The gentiles won&#8217;t know, but the Jews will<br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; have a schwarma joint in the back<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Only kosher food<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Hang pictures of all the great rabbis on the walls<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone would be made to wear modest clothes <br \/>\nguest94:&nbsp; and blintzes cause luke likes em<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; And discuss their yicchus<br \/>\nguest49:&nbsp; Rabbenim from all over the world would come to visit, and you could have master classes with each of them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel writes on Failed Messiah: &quot;I am so curious if you have any more info on rabbonim reacting negatively to to the Chafetz Chayim&#8216;s works on shmiras halashon [holy speech].
