Dec 05, 2012 Rape is shredding Syria's social fabric

QUOTE: Honor killings, forced marriages and divorce are just a few of the ways shame is destroying lives in Syria. There is also suicide when the shame becomes too much to bear....The unending "dishonor" and manipulation of Syrians through sexualized violence is committed by all sides, although the majority of our reports indicate government perpetrators.

Oct 11, 2012 Girl's courage, Taliban's cowardice

QUOTE: It was all about [the Taliban--Ed.] imposing their will, their version of Islamic law, and subjugating the entire population, but women in particular. The Taliban reportedly had destroyed more than 200 schools and ordered all girls' schools shut down when Malala slowly emerged from obscurity. In 2009, she started writing a blog for the BBC under a pseudonym, talking about her dreams for the future and how the Taliban were pushing those aspirations further and further out of reach.

Aug 23, 2012 Raped, pregnant and ordeal not over

QUOTE: in the vast majority of states -- 31 -- men who father through rape are able to assert the same custody and visitation rights to their children that other fathers enjoy.

Mar 26, 2012 Trayvon's killing and Florida's tragic past

QUOTE: No matter the state, the circumstances are eerily familiar: a slaying. Minimal police investigation. A suspect known to authorities. No arrest. Protests and outrage in a racially charged atmosphere. Florida is known for its amusement parks, beaches and pensioners from the North. But history bears out that Florida has been as much a part of the South and its vigilante-enforced racial caste system as Georgia and Alabama.

Mar 11, 2012 New law stops injustice of paying alimony forever

QUOTE: ...I didn't know it was common for ex-wives to go back to court when a former spouse got married and get an increase in alimony if the new wife added income to the marriage. I also discovered that the lower-earning spouse needed to be supported to the standard of the lifestyle of the marriage -- and that judges could not put an end date to alimony, even for short-term marriages.

Mar 09, 2012 New alimony law is bad for women

QUOTE: First the (oversimplified) basics: The new law decides whether alimony will be granted, if at all, based not on a wide variety of criteria -- such as the value of the nonworking spouse's contributions to the marriage -- but on how many years the couple stayed married and how much money the working spouse made during the marriage.

Aug 12, 2011 Hidden archive exposes WWII slaughters

QUOTE: Between September 1943 and April 1945, the Nazis' calculated campaign of violence spared no one.

Jul 11, 2011 This isn't the airline I signed up for

QUOTE: airlines selling flights operated by partners as their own. While disclosure of the airline operating the flight is required by the government, it's still easy to miss if you aren't paying close attention.

May 19, 2011 My Take: Doomsdayers show what’s wrong with all religion

QUOTE: Religion is used by dishonest people who claim to know the way to the one thing humans want most: immortality. To combat fear of death, religious people ignore their intellect, believe the lie, and follow the preacher, usually blindly and sometimes to the point of insanity....He realized that religion is a great way to make tax-free money off the backs of well-meaning people...

Dec 31, 2008 Commentary: Holocaust love story an insult to the survivors

QUOTE: We doubters could not, however, initially overcome the power of Oprah, on whose show Rosenblat and his wife appeared twice.

The producer who acquired movie rights tried to intimidate those of us who raised questions.

QUOTE: "I tried being the 'good patient,' " said Mayer, who until illness forced her to retire was an assistant research professor in the school of public health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
