Friday, November 28, 2003Something I'm concerned aboutThis entry is something I've been debating about putting in here since it happened last month, and you will find out exactly why as you read along. I've found out through a confidential source (a source who has been in contact with my former boyfriend) that there is a good possibility that said...

Many of you likely have read at least one of his first two books, A Child Called It and The Lost Boy. In that post, I talked about Pelzer's rehabilitation process, at least a little bit. I also made the point that at one time, people like Pelzer...

For those of you who do not know who Pelzer is, he wrote a trilogy of books about his history of abuse - A Child Called It, The Lost Boy, and A Man Called Dave. At the time he was rescued by faculty members at his middle...

Most of you are aware that Michael Jackson is black, and I purposely referred to the civil-rights mantra of the 1960s in the title. There is another prize at stake in his case - one not noted by the news media already making a sensation out...

I also feel there is a wider underlying problem going on here that needs to be addressed - a problem not necessarily having anything to do with Jackson's guilt or innocence. First of all, I don't like the way Jackson...

Although I don't agree with all of their political views - most of the list is feminist, and most of their attitudes were shaped by the definition of feminism prevalent when I was a child and...

The first is something I'd mentioned in the most popular blog I currently write, Potpourri. I would like to deal with the second in another post. I mentioned in Potpourri that on September 10, 2001 - the day before terrorists hit four places in America, including the...

I submit that religious abuse is actually verbal abuse with religious language, rather than true religious abuse. Alternatively, what these people called religious abuse...

I tried the button provided by PayPal for donations, but as Editormum has said, the PayPal button (or at least the one they recommend) doesn't work. What I will have to do is re-learn how to put in a link to the PayPal... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 6:48 AM Comments (0) (link) |
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 |
