role-playing game.The person who said the above quote was responding to an effort by Democratic lawmakers to restrict the sale of Mature‑rated video games to minors. The person who said it sounds like a pretty stand‑up guy. I mean after all, it sounds like some pretty common sense stuff: children are young and aren't equipped to deal with some of the things this world has to offer, so it's the duty of the parents to step in and be the moral compasses for their children. This little piece of wonderful wisdom must have been the product of an equally wonderful individual. Was it the Democratic Messiah Al Gore? Was it blunt‑to‑the‑point‑of‑political‑suicide Barack Obama?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Self-portrait by Julia Margaret Cameron.Julia Margaret Cameron (June 11, 1815 – January 26, 1879) was a British photographer. She became known for her portraits of celebrities of the time, and for Arthurian and similar legendary themed pictures.
Cameron's photographic career was short (about 12 years) and came late in her life. Her work had a huge impact on the development of modern photography, especially her closely cropped portraits which are still mimicked today. Her house, Dimbola Lodge, on the Isle of Wight can still be visited.
Early life
Julia Margaret Cameron was born Julia Margaret Pattle in Calcutta, India, to James Pattle, a British official of the East India Company, and Adeline de l'Etang, a daughter of French aristocrats. Cameron was from a family of celebrated beauties, and was considered an ugly duckling among her sisters. It's said, for example, each sister had an attribute which she used as a nickname. Her sisters had nicknames like "beauty". Julia's nickname was "talent". This instilled in Julia an obsession with idealized beauty.
