Give A Hoot - Don't Pollute
Meaning: don't pollute the issue of domestic violence with ridiculous explanations. I thought I'd heard it all last year when I read an article about a man in TX who murdered his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and 3 other people and the family blamed it on a rattlesnake bite.
But, alas, a new story has emerged that gets the new "crazy animal excuse" award. A neighbor of Mike Peterson is positing that an owl attacked Kathleen Peterson and that is how she died in 2001 in Durham, NC. Nevermind that Mike Peterson was found guilty of murder and is serving a life sentence, and the NC Court of Appeals ruled the trial fair, and the NC Supreme Court upheld the conviction.
And most of all, what an insult to the surviving family members of Kathleen Peterson. That's the main thing that keeps me from laughing at this ridiculous hypothesis. Read the full story here:

Marie,
I love what you have written in all of your blogs! I am an old friend of yours from Interact days... It's Liza Shaw here, or Liza Newman. That's how you knew me when...
I have often thought about you and always figured you were out there, continuing to be a STAND for women, children and families, to end domestic and sexual violence! Write me at powertothrive@yahoo.com or check out my website: www.powertothrive.com .
Funny thing: For cusiosity's sake, I did a search on google for my business' tagline tonight: "moving beyond surviving to thriving," and Marie Brodie was the first name that came up! I couldn't believe it! But then again, we always had similar views on this kind of thing.
Much love,
Liza
