Why, I think you did the right thing, that is all. As I grow old, meek and obedient I can only wish that the right thing happens more often. As of the lady, I would like to hear that after crying her eyes out through the night, she, as morning came, woke up and went out looking for some self defense course (I think for the lightly built, krav maga or jiu jitsu is the way, and judo for the bulkies). I can easily imagine that there is growing number of frustrated people in a future (with a rather broad definition of "frustrated", which experts will cut into pieces and serve piece by piece so their opinions can sell for longer) and with this growing frustration I expect growth in violent acts, regardless of offender/victim gender or hair color. While there could be some patterns (so, not so much chaotic attacks), but I guess mostly unreasonable - like, male frustrated by inability to find a partner, vents his anger toward female rather than towards his male rivals (I can also imagine same pattern but with switched genders, in a light way, this already happens with divorces). Howaver, my prediction power is not really very good. I have just finished Danielle Steel's "Second chance", a romance. Mostly, I wondered what was inside. So, a lot of mentions of some Manolo Blahnik boots, but when they use a computer, not a word about ahich operating system. Towards the end, I was rather sure someone will kill another someone (all in all, I would like it if woman killed her divorced hubbie and stuffed him somewhere around the house). And guess what, romances are different and I, having all information on my hands, erred about the ending. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
