Thursday, April 24, 2003What's up with this blog?I haven't posted here in a while, and here's the reason why. Frankly, right now, I don't have a lot new to say about abuse. Perhaps later on, I will. If I were to continue to work on this blog right now, however, I would be violating all the values I hold dear. My temptation of late is to write all...

I hope it counts! I could sure use the traffic about now.

As a direct result of the abuse, she needed to be institutionalized in a women-only sexual addictions unit for a month (detailed in her book Love Sick ). Her father's abuse of her - apparently an intergenerational problem - damaged...

The United Colors of Benetton clothing chain originally discussed putting them in clothing to determine if someone was shoplifting clothing from UCB mall outlets, but dropped the idea...

This might be one of those times, but I will eventually attempt to tie this into the topic of abuse (so be patient). The primary objection to the use of RFID...

Here goes for today's. Everything below the headline is the prompt, and after I'm done with the prompt, I will go back to my ranting and raving. Sailing Joanne couldn't abide sailing. She hated it....

She didn't mean it in an inspirational way, either - she meant that children can go in very surprising ways, ways which often offend their parents mightily. The same thing can be said of adults. Based on the...

Right now, technology doesn't exist to my knowledge that would help to track someone wearing RFID-embedded clothing out of the store and onto the street. I submit that it is...

Allegedly, these chips are to be deactivated when you purchase a Benneton item, but the truth is that the clerks might just be trained to use "sham"...

Much of that time is spent researching child abuse; since The Blogging Network changed the category of this blog a few weeks ago, I feel free to do...

About this BlogThe name of the post is derived from a Francis Schaeffer book, and intended to rebut something I'd seen on the Internet. The blog itself is about what I've learned about relationships from the ones I've had, and the ones I've observed. It will not be pleasant to read, and might wander off-topic occasionally, but is intended to be a long-term blog reading like a public journal. Links |
