We like ...Yes, let us give thanks, thank you Sir. <br /><br />We like to think that for every minute hour day week year LIFE we've put in on this issue of domestic violence, that a collective "fund" was being built up somewhere, a fund of legitimacy and experience documenting the abuse, establishing it as True, helping it to be Heard and Believed beyond the confines of the closed door, all the way downtown to the courtroom. Not true. <br /><br />For every person [usually a woman] who seeks to be understood and legitimized on these grounds, each has to make her case anew, all over again, as though no one had ever gone before her, no standards ever established, no firm grounds for recourse. Even after she's broken her way out of the house, it's like she's on her own all over again with the courts and with society. <br /><br />It is tragic what happens to these women and children, they are so grateful for even a little bit of help. To everyone who's reading, do support your local shelters if at all possible.<br /><br />-FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-48605487881457310632011-10-12T21:15:57.903-05:002011-10-12T21:15:57.903-05:00I lived in Kansas -- in the 1980s while in graduat...I lived in Kansas -- in the 1980s while in graduate school at Lawrence. Outside of the town of Lawrence, the state felt medieval in its provincialism and apathy. That the fly-over of Uhmerica has become synonymous with the Taliban is just more evidence that one becomes their enemy rather curiously.LLPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214604260185615821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-86092338979245038122011-10-12T20:19:08.894-05:002011-10-12T20:19:08.894-05:00common sense may occasionally prevail.
