cyber threats
There’s been a big flurry of news articles recently about threats to women and others on the web. The most recent of these is the one titled “Sexual Threats Silence Some Female Bloggers” in today’s Washington Post. Now, it seems … Continue reading
At last! somebody makes sense
It’s Sunday but I wanted to get this short post out because I found a news article that actually makes sense and gives good advice. It’s in Slate. I can’t believe it since so many give such bad advice but … Continue reading
There’s an article and accompanying video in the Washington Post that got my attention. It’s headline says: “Defense Training Goes Begging for Airline Crews”. Now I could make several comments about the kind of training the are being given and … Continue reading
Getting the Creeps
Someone was just posting on a listserve I visit all the time about getting the creeps when she’s leaving the office. So she wallks carefully to her car and listens to her instincts. Good! But once she gets to the … Continue reading
driver safety

bullying
I just posted about a kid in Wisconsin who killed his school principal. His problem was that he was complaining about being bullied and nobody was listening to him. I keep hearing about school killings and there always seems to … Continue reading
Silliness reigns
Someone just sent me the following link about a theater production at Yale. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2007/04/23/weapons. Read this article. It’s interestingly silly. Apparently a Yale student theatre company was putting on a play that was set in medieval times and involved medieval … Continue reading
Protection is YOUR problem
I stopped posting about a year ago because it seemed that I had said most of what I wanted to say. But I was wrong. Boy was I wrong! So I’m back. And I have a lot to say. But … Continue reading
