I am appalled, but not surprised, at our justice system. I experienced the turn of tables, the smug good-ole-boy culture, when it got down to the line in the courtroom, during a difficult divorce some decades ago. Today's environment cries out for the humanity in us to remedy this cold, corporate and greed controlled culture. I am so sorry for Ms. Lenahan's unspeakable losses and grief; and I admire her courage to redirect her pain into needed activism.

Early education is key. I am a psych major and have worked in several mental hospitals and the people who have been abused were raised to believe they were nothing and deserved what the got. This has to change.

I'm extremely surprised that even the Supreme Court turned her down. That's insane!

[balvear]

@GnarlyNewEngland I completely agree. Wish we hadn't forsaken the bible which teaches that people are sacred beings and we should protect them.

[GnarlyNewEngland]

@balvear The same Bible that often treats women as property?

[balvear]

@GnarlyNewEngland No, the same Holy Bible that teaches that you become "one", in the flesh, with your wife, when you marry, if you're a man. That means that if you abuse your wife, you're abusing yourself. Where you got the idea that women are treated like property in Holy Bible, I dunno.

"Men, love your wives.", "father's do not exasperate your children.", "treat others as you would treat yourself.", "be glad in your wives...", "Father's teach your children...", and many more.

[GnarlyNewEngland]

@balvear Well yes it teaches that too, but the Bible is rarely ever consistent. You could probably use the Bible to argue for any point if you assume it's true.

[balvear]

@GnarlyNewEngland You can deny any argument involving the bible if you assume that it isn't true also yet, the bible is consistent if read as a whole from beginning to the end.

[GnarlyNewEngland]

@GnarlyNewEngland No, I have read the Bible, it is in no way consistent. There are obvious differences in accounts of the same events from book to book. In addition, the current Bible is not even the same as it was originally. Our earliest manuscripts have glaring differences from the one we have today. And disregarding all that, you have no way to prove that the book was divinely inspired anyway, leaving it as no more than a book of fairy-tales.

The authorities in this nation have become more and more indifferent and in some cases annoyed by citizens demanding that they uphold the law.
