Re: Schoenborninvestigation

Glad to read about Schoenborn Itsalways made me feel sick that three kidsdied and no one, not even the guy whokilled them, was responsible. TheMinistry of Children wasnt responsible;the mom had no responsibility; the cops& judge who let him go, no responsi-

bibity. Three kids are dead. If nothingelse, blame needs to be put somewhere.This is good. Kim Robinson

Women's activists have marked 25November as a day against violencesince 1981. The date also marks the bru-tal assassination in 1960, of the threeMirabal sisters, political activists in theDominican Republic, on orders ofDominican ruler Rafael Trujillo (1930-

1961). By resolution on 17 December1999, the United Nations GeneralAssembly designated November 25 asthe International Day for the Elimination ofViolence against Women, and invited gov-ernments, international organizationsand NGOs to organize activities desig-nated to raise public awareness of theproblem on that day.

Mother-in-law jokes

Overheard in a restaurant: She: This wine is described as full bodied and imposingwith a nutty base, a sharp bite, and a bitter aftertaste. He: Are you describing thewine or your mother?

The doorbell rang this morning. When I opened the door, there was my mother-in-law on the front step. She said, 'Can I stay here for a few days?' I said, 'Sure youcan.' And shut the door.

Fred and Rick were in a pub. Fred says to his mate, 'My mother-in-law is an angel.'Rick replies, 'You're lucky. Mine is still alive.'

What is the difference between outlaws and in-laws? Outlaws are Wanted.
