  You either know how to play the game or not how can it even be considered a "hustleable" game? What's the hustleability about it?

  My 14 year-old son played one of the "hustlers" in Wash. Sq. Park several years ago and, perhaps, got one of the "bad" ones, who proceeded to rant and rave that my son had cheated when he beat the "hustler" and that the hustler didn't owe my son the $2 discussed. We were quite afraid and just left. BTW, my son is a fide master at this point.

  I tend to be rather snarky in my comments, so I just want to say this bit was particularly fascinating.

  Boo! The interesting comments on the gay vs homosexual segment are gone!

  I lived for 20 years in Italy and came to the conclusion that for Italian men it was easy to be homosexual but difficult to be gay. I knew lots of married men who had frequent sexual encounters with other men but did not consider themselves to be gay. Being gay necessitates a certain "positioning" vis-a-vis society and the surrounding culture. It has become easy to do this in the great urban centers of both Europe and the US but it is still difficult in rural areas and smaller cities. One thing I am sure of: if you have to say "I'm not gay" it probably means you're homosexual.

  It is a relatively new concept to even have terminology for being “gay/homosexual” which is a probably a greater indication of this modern need to polarize all aspects of our society. Sure I think “gay” is a term used to describe ones openness with their sexuality and yes I think there are definite homosexuals but what I don’t understand is why all people who like same-sex on occasion have to declare themselves as being “gay”? Craig more than likely is a man that likes to have sex with other men on occasion (because surely he was able to produce children somehow). It’s in the best interest of the gay community (and likewise the far right conservative community) to discredit Freud and Kinsey and keep us all polarized but it’s not very honest. (And no I don’t have sympathy for Craig because most of the controversy surrounding him was brought about mainly because of his bigotry).

  If "Yes the Bronx" was really about "the people of the Bronx" then this guy would probably be restoring lower- and middle-income housing instead of "1920s mansions" as he repeated several times. Sounds to me like "Yes the Bronx" is about raising property values.
