My cousin Dan Ziskin is in town! He's just driving through, but I'm heading out in half an hour to meet him at Waffle House for breakfast.

I'm lying excitedly in bed, waiting for the bathroom to become available, and feeling good about the world. Listening to my daughter maiabee8 animatedly tell alataristarion all about the subdivision board meeting she attended last

I don't know if they specifically need The Bee, but it certainly sounds like they need SOMEONE competent.

One of the great problems facing small organizations is that they don't always have all of the necessary skill sets within their membership. I know this; I was once the secretary of the Alliance for Magical and Earth Religions. AMER was allegedly an anti-hate activism group, but while it had a lot of high ideals, it never amounted to much. For this very reason.

So true. I know you put much of yourself into AMER, and it's a lasting disappointment that it could not achieve what you wanted it to.

The ultimate small organization, of course, is a couple. We had between us most of the necessary skill sets, and we both invested much of ourselves into our partnership. But when we were both stressed and depressed and not communicating well with each other, we lacked someone who could get us back on track.

Too bad we were not in a triad with a therapist, she says wryly....

I know AMER tried to work as a voice of sanity against the Satanic Ritual Abuse trials of the 1980s and 90s. I thought you might be interested in an article a friend pointed me to, about the last victims of satanic abuse, Fran and Dan Keller, two former daycare operators who have finally been released after 23 years in prison.

The accompanying video is over nine minutes long and is worth watching. It contains footage of an actual interview with one of the child "accusers". It's horrifying to see how the little girl is led on and coaxed into saying things that are clearly not true.
