Back when I was working for a certain lingerie company, I was toying with the idea of writing a book about the inside scoop of what really happened behind the pink walls of vanity.  My co-workers loved the idea, because they knew the very stuff I would be addressing.  They loved the idea of me ripping apart aspects of a world they hated.  [Hey, who doesn't love a good ass-ripping from time-to-time?]

The truth is, such a book would barely hurt one man's business, and quite frankly I'm not that interested in ruining any one's life who employs thousands, and helps millions.  What purpose would that serve?

Adults have options when they don't like a given situation.  They can stay and complain or they can leave and make sure they don't repeat the same bad pattern that made them complain in the first place.

Children can't.  Children learn by what they see their parents do.

It's been brought to my attention a new Blog has been written, "virtually" flogging two PPL members.

This saddens me deeply.  It's the stuff out of an old Dickens or Bronte tale.  "Beat the bastard for opening his/her mouth and voicing an opinion that doesn't sit well with the others!"

The depths people will go to make them look better actually proves, in my mind, how little they care about the feelings of others.  This is the very thing PPL is fighting against:  it's pathological in every sense to wish pain and grief on another human being.  Such behavior, especially in public blogs needs to stop.  It's childish and in poor taste. Free speech is one thing, but blogging for flogging is a whole different animal when names are being used for game.

My dad used to tell me, "Give people enough rope, they will hang themselves".

It's amazing to me how many people choose to tie nooses for themselves, when those ropes can be used to help tie and link to others wishing to build bridges for others to cross.
