I have an idea that might help on the subject of rape
and abuse of women. Let's get a few more women judges
up there on the bench. I also think that the punishment
for these crimes should be decided by the victim not
the judge.

I feel that life is too short for women to go through
it in fear that some asshole is gonna violate her. I
love women (I owe one nine months carrying charges) so
I am  more that just a little angry about the abuse
stat.s. Also, I don't feel that a man should rape a
women even if she's walking around nude!

While I do believe that the women in this country have
it a little easier than women in some other countries,
I also believe the U.S. has a long way to go. Every
time I hear of some women getting beaten or raped I
get furious. A lot of the time there were other people
around who could have helped her but they didn't want
to get involved. I wish the police would take down
their names and next time they need help the cops
could say "I didn't wanna get involved".

Someone suggested letting women carry firearms. Sounds
good to me. Any of you ladies need firearms training?
I'll teach you to shoot if you live in the Chicago area.
