Thank you Fred! The sad part is our assembly has passed this bill continuously, yet the senate keepsRead More voting it down. Time and time again, the majority in the senate has voted against equality in multiple ways. When are we going to start holding them accountable?

Although, I do agree that all people should be treated equally and respectfully, did you realizeRead More mothers are not a protected class? As long as an employer replaces you with another woman (a younger one or a woman without children) then they have removed themselves from extreme suspicion in gender discrimination complaints. I have been searching for jobs out east here for quite some time and when I have managed to get an interview they inevitably ask about the "gaps" in my employment history! Of course, it was maternity leave. If I lie, I am not trustworthy. Will there ever be a part of our lives when someone is not making assumptions about who we are and what they can expect from us?

Now if Fred Thiele could pass a bill to end discrimination and achieve true equality for all ourRead More citizens who are outlawed in the community for choosing to express their identity in the use of all terrain vehicles in the 300 mile trail system they have no legal access to .. so much for equal treatment .. under the law .. What you say about that ? Mr. Politician ?

"Nowhere in this discussion as proposed to the Board is there the possibility that the basisRead More for such a landmark document is flawed." - It is a shame that environmental sustainability, a good thing, is being used as a trojan horse for many terrible things. Thank you, Tom for pointing out how and why this has been occurring. Sustainable freedom is the best possible solution.

That is not true. Pageants open a door for girls/woman to speak out and help out. There are manyRead More different types of pageants to chose from. Not all are about beauty alone. Miss Long Island 1997 Also a Lupus and domestic violence Survivor

Thank you! Titles are another example that just came to mind: Mr, Dr, Mrs, Ms, etc. British EnglishRead More tends not to use the period; American English does.

Great column. I especially liked the little tidbit about the British usage - I often worked hand inRead More hand with our London office, and now understand why the question of punctuation drove me a little crazy...

Perfect time for Patch to follow-up on their headline grabbing articles about those charged withRead More animal abuse. How about it PATCH??

No one should every turn their backs if they see or suspect animal abuse. Animal abuse is one stepRead More away from child abuse or elderly abuse.

I guess I was a month to early- I call SPCA last month to report a case of animal cruelty andRead More nothing seems to have been done about it- my tenants dog is woefully underweight (you can see his ribs) and looks like she hasn't had is nails cut in a year I gave them all the information they asked but when I called back later(twice) I was told that whoever was in charge of the case would get in touch with me(which he never did- leaving a message on my phone with no call back number isn't my idea of getting back to someone) I've still been feeding the poor thing when I can but the tenant is being evicted at the end of this month and I fear he's going to get rid of the dog
