This is often a broad and community issue fueled by discriminatory behavior of even a few and belief in untruths about those characteristics. Stigma is considered to be a negative portion of discrimination. Discrimination is the treatment or consideration of a group by... Read More
The EatLafayette campaign is underway. If you are like me, I did not know exactly what this about when I first saw the logos and heard about it. In a nutshell, for the past 5 years, local restaurants have been offering special deals and special menu items for patrons during the summer. The 2009 campaign is from June 22 to Aug. 15. It's purpose is to support local restaurants, which is much needed, believe it or not, especially during the slow summer months. Just... Read More

I like to think I'm politically savvy but I learned something new today that shocked even me. It turns out that there are five Catholic Supreme Court Justices. I would have never guessed that. Even more intriguing is the prospect of moving that number up one with the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor who is a Catholic. Judge Sotomayor would replace Justice David H. Souter who is an Episcopalian. While Catholicism is the single biggest denomination in the United State... Read More

And the thing that folks need to be aware of is that there's not as much help out there for victims as the media would like you to believe. Get mad. Get involved.
