I watched 60 minutes on Sunday to see Lara Logan's first interview.  Betty and I watched it together yesterday online.  This woman was almost torn to pieces - literally.  Their camera light went out, someone in the crowd yelled "she's a jewish spy", and her 25 minute torture began. 

In the ultimate story of sisterhood, the women of Egypt saved her.  She was pushed through the crowd until she fell into a woman's lap.  She was wearing a chador so she could only see her eyes.  The group of women enclosed around Lara and protected her from the crowd. 

When Betty watched the clip she looked at me and said, "this is sexual repression".   She's so right. 

Hi Betty,

Every morning when I first get up, I immediately go to the computer and bring up our website. Each time, I'm utterly amazed at the speed and ease of the internet. Thanks to Ted Nelson, the brilliant creator of this medium, I am instantly in touch with the whole wide world. Maybe it's my age, but I never cease to marvel at the potential of this kind of communication.

Today, I accidentally ended up on a page that had viewer responses to my article on male circumcision. As I reread them, I again realized how many thoughtful people had shared their ideas and feelings on the subject, including a few men who called me out on some of my statements. And get this, I agree with what many of my critics said. Yes, I made some brash statements with no data to back them up but I wrote that essay after I'd just watched the video clip showing a baby being circumcised. It actually sickened me as I observed this infants suffering while two adult males, one a doctor and the other his father, simply stood by and allowed this to happen to a helpless baby that was put into restraints. Still in an emotional state, I typed out my response to this unnecessary procedure.
