Here's an idea. How about if ALL the world's largest media entities simply stopped publishing any pictures or video of terrorists. No YouTube, no Facebook, no Twitter, NO PICTURES OF ANY KIND.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/comments/pingbacks/ I'm an older lady whose second wedding was a cozy affair, with a small group of family and friends in attendance. Since we covered all the expenses ourselves, we were as frugal as possible. But the two areas where we did not scrimp were food (hubby said one of his most important wishes was …
If you pay attention to the Daily Post on WordPress, you saw a couple of posts regarding BlogHer, the convention/meeting for women bloggers.

Some time back in the 1960's, the radical feminists came out with this slogan: A Woman Without a Man is Like a Fish Without a Bicycle. Their viewpoint then, and now, is that woman do not need men in their lives (except maybe for sexual pleasure). The implication is that a woman can, and most …
