But never say never!<br /><br />Reya: I love that you dreamed about us. Ironically I had a dream that same morning that featured Elizabeth from "A Moon Worn as a Shell." It must have been dream-about-a-blogger day!<br /><br />Ms Moon: I had the same reaction! I couldn't believe I was reading about the U.S.A.!<br /><br />Ellen: I suppose like most laws it can used well or used inappropriately. I think it's too broad as it stands now, and there are not enough avenues for redress if people feel they've been unfairly targeted.<br /><br />Sharon: Yeah, loose lips sink ships!<br /><br />Vivian: Detroit is in especially dire circumstances, of course, but it sounds like many other cities and small towns are coming to rely on civil penalties for operating income. I'm not sure this is what the founders of our legal system envisioned!<br /><br />Lynne: Olga seems to like her dog walker, whose name is Fraser. But then, she likes anyone who takes her for a walk.<br /><br />Bug: I kind of remember that post, but not too well. I tend toward caution having been in journalism for so many years, where we were told not to talk about our personal opinions publicly. That's changing now, but I have that sense of discretion drilled into me.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-4152220033937148822013-08-29T18:17:35.184+01:002013-08-29T18:17:35.184+01:00I blogged about something from work once & was...I blogged about something from work once & was just filled with regret later (it was the post about listening to recorded calls).

When I started blogging, I told myself the same thing that I wouldn't blog about work. I think the only time I've mentioned work was about the drive to or from. <br />I will have to read that article you mentioned. I find what you mentioned here very shocking.

(not like nowadays when the police are totally out of control). anyway, it wasn't until the property confiscation law went into effect that the landlord evicted them. but, as these things tend to do, it is completely mis-used against innocent people.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-87954639612917757812013-08-29T14:16:03.987+01:002013-08-29T14:16:03.987+01:00I read that article in the New Yorker with my chin...I read that article in the New Yorker with my chin dropped to my chest.
