Misdirected rage i did not realize that i am in the midst of such a a sensitive Quot Community. Pity on those gentle souls offended the a salacious details of recent events. Just to think the stars and stripes subjected All those readers to such incredible stories makes me shiver with horror. How unfair and unprofessional of you stars and stripes to Force those articles on them. They Felt compelled to spill their Little minds on paper. The Effort must have further decreased their already limited Supply of Gray cells who says people done to read anymore in order to complain about salacious details one must read the article in its entirety one must be an informed com plainer. K one of those readers now fears a possible Hollywood version of the Schap murder details. Pm sure if such a movie is Ever filmed hell be the first one to watch it just to make sure the details coincide with his version like the one he read in the stars and stripes or one of the Many circulating in the Community. Think of the readers in need of Shock treatment if the stars and stripes would have published All the details. Why the outrage Over articles covering crimes committed Why not Over the holocaust taking place right now and very close to us Here in Europe Why is there no outrage Over the escalating violence that is As american As Apple Pic Why not an outcry Over the Lack of meaningful and valuable programs on american forces networks prime time or the pitiful Book collections of army libraries or even the abysmal Book selections at Star s and stripes bookstores \ i suppose we complain about what Siri our limited Circle of awareness and those delicate readers just live with their tiny Heads buried in the Sand. A Lillias stricken a Leahcim Germany a a. A a. Details appreciated if i were a civilian enjoying local newspaper i would have been Able to read each known detail of the entire Schap Case. Luckily As a family member overseas i have the same Opportunity with the stars and stripes. In surveying those details i was Able to form own opinions about the. People involved and i dare say i have trouble feeling protective toward Diane Schaps right to privacy. As tragic and brutal As it All is it is fact worthy of publication. A a i for one like various information from politics to human interest stories and i feel you be been beaten up unnecessarily. Each Day i look Forward to Reading the stars and stripes a front to backhand if there a a particular Story i done to want to read i skip it and realize others must find interest in it or it would t be there.

Commentary harassment everywhere for everybody Linda Murley Bob Packwood does no to remember most of the women who have accused him of sexual harassment. ,. A so what Quot. A /. Men done to remember women individually the Somerv they be flirted with had sex with cheated on or borrowed Money from. A it women remember. Like a witches brew these memories arc stirred for years a if not for a lifetime men see women As a succession of sporting events. Women mistake every Man they meet for the super bowl. Aside from the anatomical this is one of the creepier differences Between the sexes. I was recently in a restaurant haying a drink with a current inamorato when a intervals two former Inamorati sauntered into the bar. The first Man glanced at me with gun tie curiosity but no real recognition. Our affair had ended 15 years ago in a Drunken Brawl. Head been living an alcoholic lifestyle at the time. You know ladies this is the lifestyle that relegates you to the role of Fluffy Pillow the second Guy recognized me but place me it had been 10 years since our Brief Liaison. If this Bon vivant did no to remember me so what he had plenty to forget. Neither of these men knew who i was. The senator from Oregon says he does no to recall each woman he has insulted offended abused arid traumatized Over the years perhaps because none of. Them smacked his face hard enough. Several years ago i ran into a Boyfriend from College Days in a bar and he did no to remember me either. This scholar had been leading a peyote lifestyle when i knew him. G not Only did i have to remind this visionary of name and our affiliation Blit also the fact that he had actually attended a few of his classes at that particular University. I left the bar with the impression that Grad school was similar to prison and that he d been in and out of Many. A j j while each of these men broke heart let me assure you. was never a Large piece and that starfish like ventricles . In a not making Light of sexual harassment in a questioning our inability to distinguish Between neurosis harassment and psychosis. A picture of Marky Mark in his underwear on the Side of a bus is a form of sexual harassment. In fact anyone in their under Wracar on any Public sign or billboard is a form of sexual harassment. Kate Moss May a be skinnier than a stick but that does no to make her ads any less harassing. I thought that the whole Point of underwear is that it went under something presumably ones clothing. But seriously folks in be been sexually harassed. I know How devastating it can be. butt has been pinched and bosom remarked on _ i was once assaulted in an employee restroom Triy Boss i was forced to acquiesce. I was Young and stupid and i did no to have any weapons. Twenty years ago sexual harassment Wasny to an Issue. It was a workplace Given. There were no Media exposes no Legal precedents no lawyers soliciting Case to support groups advising me to action there was just me in a very Small room w Ith a very Large Man. A there is tension Between the sexes because gotten what we Warit from each other respect and in condition Ria love Bui think about it do we get this from anyone from our families our friends we done to even get it from ourselves. What we need to realize is that All human interaction is a form of harassment. The unwashed co worker. The ailing film goer who snuffles throughout the entire movie. The surly postal clerk bus Driver hmm worker waiter or grocery checker. Our Bosses our children. Telephone solicitors the irs the Fri and our own ids. A. Each and every human relationship is harassment. We done to have to like each other but be do need to get Over it and a go oni a a a a Csan Francisco examiner _ i is Mark thurr ft5 Mike Poores 8urycalun6, i Mike sorry Marks out. 1�?~m not sure when he a having lunch a fifth his Mother,.y his Mother no Kip Ping i.
