Let me say this about that...
I'm too headachey and tired to write at length about anything, so let me say this about a few things.
1. If men were regularly afraid to be alone with a woman on an elevator in an office building, during or after business hours, then people can talk about women like Imette and Natalie being responsible for what happened to them. If men were the ones being drugged with GHB in order to make them pliable for forced sex, then people can talk about women like Imette and Natalie being responsible for what happened to them. If men were regularly afraid to walk to their car in an office building or shopping center parking lot, during or after business hours, then people can talk about women like Imette and Natalie being responsible for what happened to them. Until such time as sexual predators, be they the boy next door or the psycho down the street, are punished in a way that is commensurate with the physical and lasting mental damage they inflicted on their victims, then we can talk about responsibility.
As it stands now, the only ones responsible are the perpetrators and the legal system that has let these scum back on the street.
1.5 I missed seeing the Dan Abrams' program on MSNBC today. One of his guests was a lawmaker in Okalahoma who is pushing for the death penalty for two-time child molesters. Frankly, I think that's great. Not as poetically just as my own idea, but a good alternative, so long as these monsters don't get to hang around on death row for the next 20+ years or so as they do here in California. But I'd like to see the death penalty extend to those who attack people who are not children, be the victims men, women, or male or female adolescents. But I still like my idea the best (Closing the Gap in the Sex Offender Registry System).
2. This is to the aunt of Darryl Littlejohn, and to the family members of all rapists and murderers, and murdering rapists: maybe if y'all were honest about your brothers and sons and husbands and cousins and nephews, fewer women and children, not to speak of a few men, would be permanently harmed and killed every year. By refusing to see the signs, by keeping yourself willfully blind to the way they are, you are accessories to their violent acts.
2.5 And for the woman who lives across the street from Littlejohn, honey, Nazi uniforms are not cool, not fashionable (unless you are a Nazi or neo-Nazi or someone of that ilk yourself, which I think you are not), and definitely not a way to show support for our troops.
3. I am still dead set against Dubai/DPW/UAE having anything to do with our ports. Surely there is a company out there that does have the capability to manage the ports that recognizes Israel, hasn't abetted anti-US terrorists (and hasn't harbored one of the most (in)famous child molesters)? I don't care if DPW has worked out a way to work with ZIM, Israel's oldest and biggest shipper of goods world-wide. Israel has learned to play the games needed so that they can trade with countries that do not officially recognize them and whose citizens officially and unofficially set about training to kill Israelis and whomever else is in range.
Frankly, it looks like Dubai and the UAE may be keeping the U.S. and Israel around because it is so small and probably hopes that if any of its Arab neighbors starts putting the squeeze on them, as Saddam did to Kuwait, for example, the US and Israel (the latter surreptitiously, of course) will come to their aid.

Hi! My name is April, I found your blog after reading various articles on websites that had you mentioned in them. They entold of how you helped them with their herp/repiles issues. And I have one for you..
Three days ago I brought home a 4 foot green iguana that someone had in the back of their truck. He is scarred up but very friendly. Ie: he'll crawl into my lap and eat from my hand. Growing up I always had horned lizards and a boa. But this guy is ALOT bigger than anything I've ever brought home before.
April, you'll find lots of care info at my green iguana care site. Start off with my Iguana Care, Feeding & Socialization, which includes an age/size/weight chart. Four feet isn't that big...well, compared to most other lizards, though small compared to full grown boas. ;)
