Comment: You go, girl. At least she tries to be a part of the solution. They need to break down schools all over the country into smaller groups. You can learn more and get more done and have a more substantive relationship among each other as well. Khufu, in this day and age of kid snatchings off the street, etc., a cell phone is needed in case emergency.

Comment: Kiss Sends Man to Prison - for Life By Associated Press Thu Feb 16, 7:48 PM SALEM, Ore. - It may have been a borderline call, but it was still a third strike. The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld a ruling that sent Nicholas Meyrovich to life in prison under a 2001 three-strikes law. Meyrovich got his third strike, a felony sex offense, for delivering an unwanted kiss. Meyrovich, in his appeal, claimed that a life sentence for the kiss violated the Oregon Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Meyrovich, 60, an exterminator, was inspecting the home of a Salem woman in October 2003 when he suddenly grabbed her and kissed her. The woman pushed Meyrovich away, but he took hold of her again and sucked her on the neck, stopping when a neighbor walked in. Meyrovich was later convicted of first-degree sexual abuse, which under Oregon law requires the forcible touching of the "sexual or other intimate parts" of another person. Meyrovich argued that the neck is not an intimate part of the body; the court disagreed. "In ordinary social intercourse, one adult does not touch the neck of another adult outside of intimate relationships, at least not without some unusual but reasonable justification," Judge David Schuman wrote for the panel that decided the case. The court also disagreed that the sentence was cruel and unusual, noting that the three-strikes law was not aimed at the gravity of a particular crime but at habitual offenders. Schuman wrote that Meyrovich had been convicted of nine prior sex offenses before the kiss. Meyrovich is one of only four inmates serving life sentences under Oregon's sex offender three-strikes law.
