Thursday, October 19, 2006The panopticon of the stalkerThis entry was actually inspired by something I'd written on Themestream a few years back. If I'm repeating an earlier entry from this blog, please forgive me for seeming repetitive. The term "panopticon" comes from the world of the judicial system. It is actually a term I'd theoretically apply to a...

I got another email today about verbal abuse, and I wanted to share the types of...

Now, I don't know many details of the case, but those that I do know appall me. I have no idea why Foley would send explicit emails to...

Drews is a licensed clinical social worker who works, primarily by phone, with the wives of alcoholics, trying to help them heal from the effects their spouses' alcoholism has had on their lives. Getting Them Sober...

Now, I'm sure he would want me to stop writing material about that relationship, in the belief that I am obsessed with that relationship; in fact, one of the titles listed in this commentaries link (a link...

I'm grateful this particular teacher is being held accountable for her actions - if I were the abused boy's parents, I'd be very upset and angry with the teacher for abusing...

(It's 1:16 PM Central Daylight Time, on September 1, 2006.)

Someone left a comment on my last post, referring to the fact that breakups can indeed be very sad events, even for the person initiating the breakup of a romantic relationship. Yes, this is true. In fact, consenting adults do go through the...

This is an actual line from the song. It also contains a reference I hadn't thought of before now. I just looked over the Sing365 version of the lyrics to that...

It's a very lush, almost romantic tune that was popular in the 1980s (I think - I don't remember exactly when it came out). I provided a link to Sing365's site specifically so that you, my readers, could read the lyrics to this song... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 6:02 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 |
