  <itunes:subtitle>An Evening of Distinguished Gentlemen proving we still talking the same mess!  Appropriate to sell sex for clothes/food/ shelter/ everything but not talk about it as men?  Who gets more love "good or "bad" boys?  Superiority complexes from Race to Religion to a region of land near you!  Watching how groups deal with tragedy is a blueprint and playbook.  Pay attention and demand the same treatment.  What can be learned from the Middle East is how to be inhumane boldly..  The changing landscape of sports, TV and mostly, money.  And why we don't lack testosterone.  Possibly inappropriate?  Born In Trouble walks the line.</itunes:subtitle>
