It was my great pleasure to express my sincere appreciation!  

I was slammed for saying that these young men were not saints.  My empathy for the woman also received reprimands and rebukes.  The question of how dare she file charges came up again and again.  I repeatedly responded rape, by definition, need not involve vaginal intercourse.  Oh, there was so much more, inclusive of how women strip for it is their passion, a career they choose for their personal thrill?

When I saw your diary, I was scared to read it, fearing the worse; yet, your title eased my mind.   As I read, I could have kissed you.  I would have were you here.  I did not realize how much the boys paid for the "service."  I am more certain of how I feel.  I truly thank you that fact and for sharing other details, I had not yet read.

I thank you for reading my thoughts.  I am grateful. I appreciate you kind words.

I love that you are an empathetic soul and understand as I do, inequity is rampant.

I realize I have no "snark meter."  I think, if you are as I, when numerous people seem to be attacking it is challenging to know that anyone might be attempting lightheartedness.  I wrote of this yesterday and wow, was I slammed.

I experience that in recent decades Americans are snide, rude, and crude.  This style passes for humor.  I have not watched a "situation comedy" in decades.  They are filled with such "laughs."  I am told that if my own writing were more snarky more would read it.  I long for political humor that is not demeaning of a person or group.  I think there is infinite material.  The absurd logic exhibited in this Administration alone provides volumes.

That the Duke lacrosse players are seen as "good boys" and given the limelight for what I believe is awful behavior is almost humorous, were it not so sad.

I invite you to read and reflect.  Please share your thoughts.

I fear that what we accept is what we live.  I often write that what goes on in our homes is evident in the streets, in our acceptance of war.  As I type, I hear in the background Alec Baldwin's words to his eleven year old daughter.  Yikes!
