Saturday, November 08, 2008. After Barack Obama, Who is Next? Obama has taken on a job that requires national and international good will and cooperation.

Friday, June 29, 2007. The Green Hills of North Leitrim. Tom scraped the sheep manure off his boots on the wall of the high bridge that spanned the dry stream below. What would today’s lesson be? Caesar and the Gallic Wars? The tale of Cuhullian? Anything to keep the bairns awake. With the long day, mas and pas couldn’t get the children to sleep at night. Bridget had about 10 pounds from the butter she sold at the market. Between them all, they had enough to buy a place for themselves in a new world.

Friday, July 13, 2007. Most Perpetrators of Child Sexual Abuse Were Not Sexually Abused. Research has shown that most perpetrators of child sexual abuse were not sexually abused in childhood. Since most perpetrators were not sexually abused, being sexually abused is not by itself a risk to become a perpetrator. Mike’s life story is an example of a man who was not sexually, physically, or psychologically abused and neglected in childhood and who described a happy childhood. Despite this, he sexu...He went...
