ezs note: If you are part of the 97 percent that believes that they are sexually harassed while at work, please contact a competent lawyer as soon as possible and describe the situation. I don't care if you are VP of operations or a burger flipper. You have rights. You have dignity. And anyone who infringes on those rights deserves to have their butt kicked.

STOP THE TROLLS NOW!!
Credit: img.ehowcdn.com
ezs note: Yeah, this night really sucks. The crowd that you went to the movie or concert with is nowhere to be found. Buses don't run this late. Cabs are a bitter laugh. If subways are an option, this one's at least a mile away. So you walk. There's a guy up ahead. He slowly moves forward. You turn, not realizing it's a dead end. Oh, shit...
There is one thing that you can do.
DEFEND YOURSELF, DAMMIT!!!
All around the nation, and in in many places around the world, self-defense classes are being held. Many are for-profit, but towns and cities hold classes as well. If you live in the town or city where classes are being held, many are at a reduced price. Some are FREE.
In the course of preparing this blog, I see far too many tragic stories. Like the transgender woman who was murdered in Fontana, California. Or the woman who lived, but had the crap kicked out her by some vermin. And on, and on, and on...
Go yourself, and bring a friend. Sometimes, it's the only way to LIVE.

Susan Estrich: Delusions of Gender Aside, Bradley Manning Is a Criminal
Susan Estrich
http://www.noozhawk.com/
*more here*
ezs note: This was a toughie. On the one hand, it's good to see Chelsea get at least some medical help. On the other hand, it's kind of strange to give Chelsea full operative care in prison (free!) while other law-abiding citizens have to cough up 20 to 50 thousand bucks out of prison. (I know this has to work its way through the courts, but still...)
Then there is the penal system. I do believe that Chelsea must spend some time in prison, but 35 years is really too much. There is a difference between Cuba or al-Qaida as opposed to Wikileaks. It's high time that the government separated the two.
I chose Susan Estrich not because she's a conservative, but because she's a liberal, and her reasons are compelling. And what about my opinion? Hell, damned if I know...

ezs commentary: This. is. illegal. Or it would be, given Russia's byzantine code of "laws". Please e-mail Russia's consulate and express your outrage. It might not seem like a lot, but every bit helps.
PS: I just sent a letter to President Vladimir Putin. The tone was respectful, but VERY firm. No matter where in the world you are, you can do likewise!

Yeah, right. DON'T VISIT THAT CESSPOOL. DEMAND that the following actions be taken immediately:
The police must take immediate, swift and aggressive action. Every 2-3 days the police will give a comprehensive report on steps they have taken.
INTERPOL will be notified to make certain that police are doing their jobs.
The police will notify on radio, TV, newspapers and the Internet that harming or murdering transgender people is a CRIME, and it WILL be dealt with severely.
Both police and public officials will hold forums urging parents not to disown minor transgender children. Parliament will hold hearings to better serve minors.
Until they do this on a sustained basis, I will NOT visit Jamaica. I'd rather visit Love Canal. This is an utter travesty which Dwayne Jones had to endure.
Remember Dwayne Jones!!!
