Don't Move to Kansas!

This is a non-food, non-literature blog.  Just wanted to make you aware that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  In honor of this, Topeka, Kansas has REPEALED its Domestic Battery Laws ~ to save $$$ (but not lives, apparently)!  Thirty perps have been released; Topeka lawmakers consider domestic battery to be a "family matter" they shouldn't have to be bothered with.  Statistics say that 4.8 million women are victims of domestic violence in the US every year.  Of those, 1,181 lost their lives in 2005 alone.

We can't let this matter go!  Read all you can on the topic! Visit:
