Yeah, I know - - we already know that, right? But really, how often does it pass as such? All the time I imagine, in the form of magazine, television, movie, and so much more. It's not like this is new information, but as our culture progresses, the barriers, or boundaries become blurred and the cross over not only becomes more likely, but almost... More...
