Tuesday, December 23, 2003A reminder about privacy concernsThis is something I know I've mentioned in the past month or two, but it bears repeating given the material I just posted a moment or two ago. HIPAA - the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (thank you, Editormum!) - guarantees that our medical records are to remain private except...

Turns out I'd gotten the material "right" in the sense that it truly was aimed at me - apparently, the man is trying to get me to behave just like him, in the hope...

I don't recall ever having said it myself, but that's just it - I don't recall. My memory for such things is spotty. I still wish - now, more than ever - that I could galvanize a group (even if only a small one) to get my...

I will not reprint my former partner's raving here. I...

I've been going on and on about child sexual abuse and pedophilia, and how those who have these proclivities believe that they are a poor, persecuted minority who just need more understanding. In fact, this has been my pet example of behavior that ought to...

The big reason I got back to doing it was that there really is some behavior that is absolutely wrong. For many years, we as a society have been gradually getting to a point where we think that just about everything is...

I speak of some of the sites I visited yesterday, in my research about pedophilia on the Internet. It's difficult even to speak of this matter...

I was on some pro-pedophilia websites just a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact. Frankly, I have a headache from having visited some of them. To hear these guys (and gals!) talk, they are a persecuted minority. In fact, to hear them talk,...

It turns out that prior to the alleged victim's confessions in therapy, California's child-protection agency, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), had already investigated the allegations and found...

For those who have been through therapy, if the therapist is any good and the relationship works, you'll know by the amount of time you spend upset at the therapist. Sometimes he or she hits a nerve, and you get very POed at the therapist. That's... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 12:51 PM 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 |
