AC 360, aka : "Emoting 'R' Us"

1000

This is about a young girl who stood in opposition to her parents and went to live with a man who then 'kept' her. It is about domestic violence more than it is about a psychological disorder. Women live in fear all over this country with no way out and they are far older than Ms. Kach.

Rumsfeld lost the war against al Qaeda. The Brits might succeed with NATO five years after the attacks on the USA in Lower Manhattan. New York was never much of a Republican stronghold anyway. Right George? Better to have a scapegoat of fear and profits from Iraq.

Next for New Orleans: A Jewish Mayor?By TYLER BRIDGESMarch 24, 2006
NEW ORLEANS — A three-man band played bluesy tunes from a makeshift stage.
A woman conducted business ladling out gumbo at $7 per Styrofoam cup.
A tall man in slacks and comfortable shoes worked the crowd as residents of the Broadmoor neighborhood here held a street party Saturday to cheer themselves up and proclaim that they will rebuild their neighborhood in the center of this hurricane-ravaged city.
"We're hurting," the man, Ron Forman, told one couple. "We're all hurting."
Forman, a Democrat, is aiming to become the first Jewish mayor of New Orleans in what may be the most important election in the city's history.

SEXUAL ABUSE IN SOCIAL CONTEXT: CATHOLIC CLERGY AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS

Special Report by Catholic League for Religious and Civil RightsFebruary

In a 1993 survey by the Journal of Pastoral Care, 14 percent of Southern Baptist ministers said they had engaged in “inappropriate sexual behavior,” and 70 percent said they knew a minister who had had such contact with a parishioner.[xvii] Joe E. Trull is co-author of the 1993 book, Ministerial Ethics, and he found that “from 30 to 35 percent of ministers of all denominations admit to having sexual relationships—from inappropriate touching to sexual intercourse—outside of marriage.”[xviii]

According to a 2000 report to the Baptist General Convention in Texas, “The incidence of sexual abuse by clergy has reached ‘horrific proportions.’” It noted that in studies done in the 1980s, 12 percent of ministers had “engaged in sexual intercourse with members” and nearly 40 percent had “acknowledged sexually inappropriate behavior.” The report concluded that “The disturbing aspect of all research is that the rate of incidence for clergy exceeds the client-professional rate for physicians and psychologists.”[xix] Regarding pornography and sexual addiction, a national survey disclosed that about 20 percent of all ministers are involved in the behavior.[xx]
