DESPITE the FACT that every SPORT this side of badminton WORRIES about concussions that RESULT in brain damage, CTE, the National Hockey League refuses to accept the overwhelming medical science. Good grief - the NHL still permits fights.

I think that WOMEN REALLY entwine with the people that they become close to in a way that men don't - and so, when they are FORCED to disentwine, you can't remove the vines without doing some DAMAGE.

When a young non-white male is stopped and searched at the whim of a POLICE officer, his IDEA of personal space, PRIVACY and self esteem are shattered, to say nothing of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protections.

A MECHANICAL ENCOUNTER or other energy-exchange MAY CAUSE tissue DAMAGE.

The Chip also reduces the damage done by bandits. They STILL STEAL drinks and CHEERS along the course, but no longer scramble the paying runners' results. No entry fee, no Chip, no TIME or place.

In TERMS of MEN being feminist allies, it's just IMPORTANT to speak from your own place. I'd LOVE to hear men singing about masculinity and the DAMAGE it does to them.

They view them as corrupt, intransigent and more interested in protecting their political clout within the Democratic Party than protecting their members or even school CHILDREN.
