Having evacuated with a three month old during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption I'd add two things...

For each infant or child under the age of 10... a hospital style (or something similar) ID bracelet. Something that can't be taken off.

And water.

Your evacuation bag list doesn't include water.

The baby supplies are a big one. I was fortunate enough to be nursing but I got dangerously dehydrated. Still, that was better than those with infants who were using formula because *there was none to be found*. After a week it was all gone. Water and formula is more important than diapers.

Do you people really think that legal protection in Iran is equivalent to legal protection in the United States, or is this just a nice opportunity for a nice round of "We suck?"

I would quibble.

I don't disagree with anything Joss said in his rant, as far as I get the connection between honor killing and a movie to watch a pretty girl tortured and killed.

Yet my daughter watches television and watches the world today, new and fresh, without the context adults have and what she sees is, Girls are superior.

Yet as superior as girls are supposed to be they are also supposed to conform to a certain girly stereotype and think it's wonderful.

So she's sort of frustrated and stuck because she likes boy stuff, not girl stuff, and the stuff she likes is "bad" and the stuff she finds stupid, superficial or insipid, is "good."
