Hey Yael, You said that very well & Lama took it well. Re: life as an Afghan woman under the Taliban: There is a documentary being shown a lot called Behind the Veil that I recommend everyone see. Life as a woman in Afghanistan is probably worse than anything any of us can imagine. The other part of this documentary is the incredible bravery of the woman journalist who did the piece, & the incredible bravery of the RAWA, an organization of women in Afghanistan... www.rawa.com has more information on what they do & how to help.
PS I agree, cyber bully is a much better phrase & very accurate, as it refers to verbal abuse. A lot of my recent research about emotional & verbal abuse defines those doing the abuse as bullys & controllers. Needing to be right, not listening to others, being likeable in public but abusive in private, basically being in a lot of pain but not doing the work to get to the source of the pain. I once had a boss (female) like that. I wish I had known then what I know now. ******************************************* Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
