Doggone It!

I felt like saying that tonight -- right after discovering that my car rolled into my father's car in my parent's driveway. Well, doggone it! My dad was very laid back about the whole situation and made no big deal of it - I love that about my father in his old age!

On a totally different note... do you object when you hear victims being blamed for domestic violence? Do you object when abusers lie and manipulate the system to their advantage? Do you object when abusers hurt people - either with fists or words? What do you do in your everyday life to object to domestic violence? We are all advocates in some way, shape, or form. What are you doing to be an advocate against all forms of oppression, violence, and abuse - no matter who the target is?

A Poem for Today:
They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist;
They came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist;
They came for the labor leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labor leader;
They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew;
Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object.
