Much ink has been spilled during this election discussing the state of democracy. Cries for reform punctuate the media, and it’s heartening to know Russia has been listening. Recently, it sponsored a worldwide summit intended to “affirm the right of self-determination.” Am

The Dark Net: Hacking In All The Wrong Places
Oct 17, 2016
My blog was hacked by the Russians. I know. When I admit the breach, I can hear people thinking, “Who would want to hack her blogs? Who reads them?” Well, I was hacked. But why, I don’t know. As to the number of people who read my blogs, let’s say it’s more than

The Criminalization Of Poverty — The Homeless
Oct 14, 2016
Not long ago I sat down to lunch with a woman in our community prominent for her advocacy for Hispanic causes — be it for the farm worker or the illegal migrant and everyone in-between. I admire her as a savvy, caring business women. Imagine my surprise , during the co

Moral Purity And The Road To Hell
Oct 13, 2016

Mean Spirited Recruiter For the 19th Amendment
Oct 07, 2016
Women may owe a debt to Donald Trump. He’s done more to energize our sex in this election than the simple fact that for the first time in our history, we have a woman at the top of a major political party’s ticket. The last time women were so energized was after Anita Hill

Rumination On The Deplorables
Oct 06, 2016
I wish Hillary hadn’t said it. Calling a person “deplorable” doesn’t invite discussion. True, deplorable people exist, but that’s the point. They exist. The question is how to deal with them. Making them feel like pariahs exacerbates the problem because they feel l
