  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • The Prolem with the Article

    Erica S. Perl, did a stack of comics fall on you as a small child? Why the arrogance in this article? Comics, as have been alluded to many times by other posters, have started many great readers. They have built a multitude of stupendous vocabularies. Yes, I am trying to show mine off. Getting down to brass tacks, the attitude presented ...

  • Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

    Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...

  • Are we overreacting?

    Puberty being activated is not an indication that girls are ready to look for mates. The girls bodies and minds are not ready to reproduce and they are not prepared to make adult decisions about the risks of sex. False advertising about sexuality is risky. Women who are taught at a young age that men are the whole reason for being are hardly ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • This Generation

    I am only 7 years removed from college. But what I see every day at the university I currently work at echoes this latest article from ''The Fray.'' Expectations for the generation currently at university are terrifically low. This boy had not matured enough through high school to care about his future, to the extent that he did not apply to ...

  • I'm telling you again...don't!

    please, people, please--do not (never) tell/explain to your child what they already know. yes--explain why to do a behavior or why not and remind them to act responsibly in a specific way ONCE, but more than once is insulting to the child. after they know what to do (and not), telling them Again is just irritating for them and you. instead of ...

  • SUCCESS

    When my daughter was 10 I told her that she would need to kick the habit of biting her finger nails. So, I asked her at what age she thought would be the best time to do it. She declared ''12''. So, from the age of 10 through 11 she and I agreed she could bite her finger nails to her little heart's content. However, as her 12 birthday neared, I ...

  • The other kids in a classroom

    I have been an elementary teacher aide for twenty years, and I have seen a lot of what we think of ADHD behavior, or AD alone or HD alone. I usually work with first grade children. When I see misappropriate behavior I often remind my self that these little first graders have only been on this earth for six or seven years so of course they will ...
