Book update

[The People]

Hi Igraine and others. Thanks for your enthusiasm on my behalf. And Igraine I am a long way from being finished. As for the other people that you named, I have read a few books written by multiples about their lives. Have not read about the athlete but read the other one.

Not to offend but IMO they got more publicity than 100 women would simply because they were male and one was an athlete. Society is like that. here in Canada it is hockey. It was not until a star player came forward 15 years ago give or take that Canadians sat up and took notice. All of a sudden people are being forced to get crim checks when they work with kids. Ay kids. People were up in arms with the "not me" attitude. I sat on the Special Olympics board when the info came down the pipeline, one guy never came back to the meeting. For years boy scouts and church kids and... you know... the unimportant people, were coming forward and people were charged. But they weren't national idols so it was swept up into a pile and covered with jokes. While it is good that attention was brought to the issue of abuse it sickens me that more attention is payed to hockey and football players and their harmers than to you or I or the average child who just wants to be safe.
