bulls***, bullets and basketball
[Read the article: Another San Francisco tragedy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What if we had CCTV like in some euro cities? London as an example, has closed circuit cameras everywhere. You can't move on the street without someone having the ability to see you. Does anyone know if big brother is a deterrent to crimes like this one? Any Londoners in this thread?
Condolences to the family of Terrell Rogers. Maybe the police could focus less on the hippies smoking pot and go after violent crimes. I just read this story in the SF Chron and the pictures of him with his daughter hit hard. There is evil in this world that is difficult to even imagine, but you can be certain it's there, and every moment we spend attacking each other over politics and BS, we are wasting time.
We've got work to do.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I know, I know... you are right! But no questions means no answers. It seems when people know they are being watched... even while posting (no one is anonymous), they act very differently. Historically, religion kept people frightened enough, but even the threat of jail or the chair doesn't seem to work.
So what next?

Three things set off a red flag
[Read the article: My husband and I are fighting bitterly over our failing restaurant]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. Feeling like you need to hide his handgun. Or just the word "handgun" within this story.
2. His loss of control and projecting anger about this onto you.
3. Taxes/Government agencies. Never mess with them for more reasons than we have space for here. Tenacity is their middle name.
and
4. OK, so I cannot count nor is math a fave subject, but the kids. What is best for your girls? That may be your final answer.
Good luck LW.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]So true. Been in a band or two and still friends with people who are on their 9th,10th...
Even while committed to a group, there are other projects to engage in and explore. Too many moving pieces and variables I suppose.
Or too many egos in one room. (Although I added this little jab at the rockers, I am a music fanatic and gleefully purchase tickets to watch these egos anytime.)
LW, that had nothing to do with you. Now is what you've got to work with. Go forward with the good advice from Cary and in this thread. The real trouble begins when you do nothing.

Lots of good truth nuggets here
[Read the article: The race vs. gender war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thank you for the article. I was happy to read this AM that Obama and Clinton have made complete peace with the MLK comments, on his birthday. It seemed strange that two people so passionate about about civil rights would have everyone around them fighting because each represents something. This takes a powerful political force and diminishes Him or Her into a token, exactly what the opposition hoped for.

Really enjoyed both the

I dunno
[Read the article: My partner is being stalked by a trolling MILF]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Competition" AHHHHHHHHH! In this case it resounds like those methods very young girls use to express that men are the highest ground that can be reached. Can you hear it? Not a pleasant sound, very unattractive and petty. You can only control you. Secure women don't feel threatened and attack other women, let your partner deal with that. You are a strong woman, right?
To bring in MILF and terms like that are saying that usually, if a woman becomes a Mom she loses her attractiveness. And you know what, that is just not true. She may be a pain in the a** and socially imperceptive, but she just spinning wheels. Besides, you may have made at least a portion of this more truth in your head than it is in reality. Women can be friendly and not want sex. I can attest to that too.
So, don't get all hyped. Cary was not only very funny with his fun romp in word rearrangement, he's also right on.
Be a Girrrrrl and be your cool self, not a girl ( oh please leave my man alone, i am so threatened by you! ) Oh, he is kinda cute, wanna wrestle me for him? How about a boxing championship, best woman wins? To me, women are potential friends or fun or even 'just odd', but never competition. It's the only way to go. Next time she contacts, don't respond and next time you see her smile and lay the sweet charm too. You be bigger than she.
Now go give your partner a long kiss and have some fun.

OOWITUS and OOBITUS?
[Read the article: Early debate news: Clinton and Obama won't take the bait]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They are seeking the Presidency, also known as the POTUS, but they are not seeking the 'Office of Women in the US' or 'Office of Blacks in the US'. Wouldn't that be OOWITUS, or the OOBITUS? That would be weird huh?
(Apologies to the very inspiring Cary Tennis)

a short list of women in power
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Something to consider, before this gender issue gets blown out of proportion here in the USA:
Angela Merkel
Mary Robinson
Mary McAleese
Vigdis Finnbogadottir
Ruth Dreifuss
Agatha Barbara
Isabel Martinez de Peron
Corazon Aquino
Ertha Pascal-Trouillot
Violeta Barrios de Chamorro
Chandrika Kumaratunga
Janet Jagan
Tarja Kaarina Halonen
The list goes on. Even if we cannot spell their names correctly, women are already heads of state. Why is it so shocking to consider in the US? There is a whole world out there and we seem to be insulated from this reality.
