A Throwback Article
***So literally 3 days after I launch the blog, I received some life-altering news that has completely turned my family's whole world upside down; and not in a good way, I might add. So, as you might imagine, blogging has really been just about the last thing on my mind. Whenever I attempt to sit down and pound something out on the keyboard, I slam straight into the impassable wall - WRITER'S BLOCK. It's a thousand feet tall and made of Adamantium (for all of you Wolverine fans out there). I hope, someday, to actually use my love of writing to assist me in my therapy and healing; unfortunately, that time has not yet come. Until it does, I hope it may suffice to post some past articles that I have written, mainly for Facebook. For the time being, until I put some semblance of my world back together, I hope these articles (somewhat beefed up to make them more blog-worthy) will give you some reading enjoyment! Please pray for my family and me as we work through this difficult time. Thank you!***
This particular piece that I wrote was in response to an actual news story! The University of Colorado Springs had posted some rape defense tips which had come to be noticed during the gun control debates that occurred last year, after the December 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary that was responsible for 26 senseless, awful murders. The University defended these tips as a last resort method when all other tactics have failed. I'm not sure what they are referring to with "all other tactics". It's peculiar, though, that they left out the ONE strategy that would be the most effective deterrent to a rapist: a GUN.
