Divorce Monday– Seems that lots of folks want to have a completely fresh start for the new year, and this first Monday of January is the day that all the divorce lawyers get the most inquires. No idea how many of those inquiries become actual proceedings though.
In 46 BC, Julius Caesar won the Battle of Ruspina[yeah, I never heard of it either]
The big news over the weekend [at least in the United Sates] was the occupation of an outpost in the Oregon National Wildlife Refuge by a group of angry armed white men who don’t like the federal land management policies and procedures or how they have been applied. The situation has ignited a lot of social media buzz. Should this group face the same measures as protesters and terrorists have? Should the National Guard be deployed [as in Ferguson and Baltimore] or terrorist alerts issued across the world? What is the difference between an unruly mob, armed insurgents, and a militia? Is this group being treated differently because they are white? Or the fact that they are sitting on an out-of-the-way location, show no sign of looting [well they might be hunting illegally] and haven’t shot anyone [yet] enough to differentiate the response? Where is the line between “appropriate action” and “excessive force”? How much is the level of response governed by the fears of difference?
