Tonight I attended a training on lethality assessment and safety planning. On my way to the conference room where the training was held, I caught a glimpse of the front page headline of the evening edition of The Oregonian which was something to the effect of "Starbucks closes for 3 1/2 hour tonight. Why?"
Is this the most important thing going on in Oregon?
What I do know is that a woman is sexually assaulted every 2.5 minutes which means during the time Starbucks was closed 84 women were assaulted. Shouldn't the headline read "Between 5:30-9 84 will be sexually assaulted. Why?"

Its strange where our priorities are.
I have to admit I get suckered into that. I read celebrity gossip. I watch reality tv. I wonder how much I'd get done as an activist if I weren't sidetracked by that junk.
I have to go now. Simpsons is on :)
See? Priorities.
