Programs that bring public awareness to the problems of sexual assault are certainly beneficial. Twenty five years of a program like the Special Victims Unit has helped to educate at least two generations to the fact that some people (predominately male) behave inappropriately with regards to sex. In twenty five years all forms of perversion […]

Insurance companies usually have a policy for their agents that discourages suggesting that people sell their life insurance policy. Changes take place in peoples health that may affect them even being able to purchase another policy or the cost of another policy due to age may be far more expensive. There are companies that buy […]

There is no denial that there have been horrific examples of women, young girls, boys or men having their lives in jeopardy due to sex crimes but were able to escape the perpetrator. At some point even the mental trauma of sexual abuse has made life a struggle for both men and women – and […]

In fact there aren’t any civilizations or countries in the history of man that have not operated under ‘The Rule of Law’. Types of government may be called a democracy, a republic, a dictatorship, communism, socialism, a theocracy, political idolatry or a monarchy – all of these systems operate under ‘the rule of law’. Slavery […]

In the 1950’s there was a television program called ‘The Honeymooners’ featuring Jackie Gleason. He played the part of a bus driver Ralph Kramden. His neighbor and best friend Ed Norton was played by Art Carney. Norton worked in the sewers of New York and, even as a kid, I felt sorry for that being […]

Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice aforethought. It’s generally categorized into different degrees, with the severity of the crime (and punishment) decreasing as the degree number increases. In jurisdictions where it’s recognized, 1st degree manslaughter often involves the intent to cause serious bodily injury, while 2nd degree manslaughter involves reckless behavior that creates […]

Perhaps Media could remove skin color using AI when posting crime videos and photography. Current postings on all media gives the impression that while black people account for about 14% of the population, they are responsible for a much higher percentage of crime. AI could be used to change the skin color on all people […]

@andykaufman Let’s clarify something: the Sioux did NOT own the Black hills. They are not originally from there. Tribes control territory. Other tribes, like the Kiowa and the Crow were done wrong by the Sioux. The concept of ‘land ownership’ and ‘right to the land’ are in fact ‘white man concepts’ or rather European and […]

There have been many cases over the last decade where women have sought compensation for sexual encounters going back years. Aside from the merits of the cases they have brought – isn’t it unreasonable to have third parties determine how much the sex act itself was worth without being provided some standards to work with? […]

The National Memorial in Keystone, South Dakota by sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, who named it the Shrine of Democracy is a national treasure. Borglum oversaw the execution of the monument from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. It has been argued that space was left to the right of President Lincoln to allow an […]

For the past 10 years there have been many articles on corporate America reducing the size of what you purchase while maintaining, or even increasing, the price. An oft used example has been the Snickers Candy Bar. Unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention to the same thing happening in the religious sector. I love to […]

When we women accuse dirty minded men of telling foul jokes in the workplace, patting our behinds in the coffee room, fondling our breasts or trying to have sex with us when we meet in their hotel room we are able to expose them by name whether they have actually done more than offend or […]

The Soviet politician and revolutionary who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953 had a significant influence on world economics that apparently remains to this day in the American state of California. Born in Georgia, part of the Russian Empire, his father was a shoemaker and his mother a house cleaner. Stalin was educated to […]

(Jennifer Aniston Leon Bennett/Getty Images) Apparently yes. Assume that major stars have public relations staff who submit press releases to the stars before public release. That being the case, it would seem that both the public relations staff and the stars themselves have reasons to believe the public is interested in seeing the star’s breasts […]

People who help people with their supply of drugs or alcohol are referred to as enablers. Many of us can also go down a slope of spending more than is good and using credit cards to fund excess spending. Recently news reports have focused on the increase in credit card delinquencies. So it is an […]

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned restrictions on legal advertising in the United States in the 1977 case Bates v. State Bar of Arizona which allowed Jacoby & Meyers to place their first print ad in the Los Angeles Times the following day and aired their first television commercials within days, making it the first U.S. law firm to advertise on television.[3][1] There were many […]

Clients are frequently disturbed by the inability to maintain relationships over extended periods of time. These relationships may be personal, business, or even family. Perhaps you should study the top of the milk carton where it has an expiration date and take comfort. Most relationships – be it with your college sweetheart or the wonderful […]

The Natural Order of Things Women frequently comment on the desire to have men put toilet seats down after using the restroom. In some cases, a sign is even posted in public restrooms making this request. (see photo). The next man in may not have the courtesy to put the seat up before using the […]

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines ‘insurrection’ as the act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government.   The word is frequently in the news these days in connection with ‘protests’ in Washington in January of 2022.  Protest is not considered ‘insurrection’. Protests are rampant in the […]
