Domestic Violence: the Ramifications

...urge perpetrators to seek help. Remember, it isn’t always a broken arm or gunshot. Abusers break furniture, harm or threaten to harm pets, restrict movement, or “engage in a pattern of behavior likely to cause harm.” But, perpetrators lack insight and empathy to know what they are. I also urge victims or potential victims to seek help. But that tends to happen AFTER a serious act of domestic violence has occurred. And once it occurs, the victim o...

...in what is now Germany, from 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. By then, we had begun to visualize and imagine, to worry, to philosophize and hypothesize, and to make tools and appreciate “things”. 8.

One of the last things he shot was a large, wild turkey, which he prepared for me, along with all the fixin’s, one Thanksgiving at his cabin.

Our state and country is in trouble. Good, thoughtful, courageous, people need to reduce the rhetoric and buckle down and keep working for solutions. I will be doing that in...
