I saw this a while back and think it's horrible. I didn't know about the case on Maryland. I'm shocked that this is going on in Afghanistan but even moreso that it's still viewed as such in my "backyard".

Women and the Great Depression

Hi Suzanne - Thanks for including us in this. Glad to see people discussing the topic and not assuming it has "gone away." Your comments made me think back to some of my historical research about women in the Great Depression. Here's actually a good summary of how the women's movement stalled during the Great Depression, yet there are some parallels to what is going on now. http://www.novelguide.com/a/discover/egd_02/egd_02_00550.html.

P.S. I'm with you on the more male caregivers being a big deal. It's an interesting twist. Especially because more people miss work for elder care than child care and it's going to be am even bigger issue. I'm thinking that maybe it's son's out of work? having to move back home? or Single/Divorced? Also, I note that my brother will have the responsibility because he lives near my parents. So, it may be a geographic thing.

I too feel that "saving"

cluelesscrafter — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 09:59:33 -0500

I too feel that "saving" takes on a patronizing stance on the matter. Can you elaborate a bit more on the rest of the article's language? How was this tone manifested (or not) throughout?

re: Body Shop teams up with activist

jenmorrison — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:04:00 -0500

These days there is an increase in the movement to make critical choices in the products we buy, and about the vendors who market them. The Body Shop has long been at the forefront of promoting ethical choices in consumption.

The difference in the cost of this hand cream from that bargain stuff you find at Walmart would equal what the Body Shop will donate to this important cause. It's a win-win action, wouldn't you say?

Thanks for the story - small actions by many people can accomplish great things.

Pay attention - there's a story everywhere you go.

Amazing

A recommendation

I finished the memoir, Crabcakes, by Jame Alan McPherson. He has several chapters about his travels to Japan and receiving Japanese friends and acquaintances in his home and their care for each other while working through awkwardness about language, meaning, etc.

Shi Pei Pu's story is incredible and, as always, the real story is more potent, varied, and layered than the dramatized story.

Good and plenty!

A sad story

Kim Pearson — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:15:51 -0500

The notion that this young woman somehow got herself pregnant in prison is passing strange. Whatever the facts of the case, it's a horrible story. Her life has barely begun and she seems doomed to waste it behind bars. Let's hope she finds the strength of character to make something good out of this horrendous experience.

Laos or Indonesia?

msjen — Thu, 07 May 2009 16:55:38 -0500

The versions of this story that I have read in British newspapers say that she is being held in Laos, not Indonesia.

Laos is a land-locked communist and buddhist country next to Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, and China. Indonesia is a island nation half way between Southeast Asia and Australia geographically that is predominantly muslim country with very strict drug laws.

Laos has been and is a very very poor country that is a part of some of the biggest poppy producers in the Golden Triangle area. I am not sure what their drug smuggling laws are, but they may or may not be the same as Indonesia and Singapore's drug laws, which are famously strict.
