Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
Amos, I frankly can't see that you're saying much of anything with these recent posts. Of course we make decisions all the time that are only ours to "own". Any American male about my age had to own a decision to enlist, watch for a draft notice, or head for Canada. Anyone has to own a decision to drive to drive to the home of a troubled friend who asks for support, or stay home, when the road is dangerously icy. Everyone has to own the decision to ingest more, or less, calories. etc. ad infinitum. But as to a decision to take the 1:30 plane or the 3:00 plane, when one has absolutely no reason to believe it will make any difference to anyone, I think guruizing about "owning" the decision is absolutely sound, if not fury, signifying nothing.
