  <<<< However, if you look back 10 years ago in 2002, it was the story on Dateline, which included footage with Bill Bowen, that brought the issue of child sexual abuse to national attention.>>>>

  Candace Conti would have had the same legal and circumstantial opportunities to bring her case if: [1] Bill Bowen had never been born; and/or [2] the Dateline segment had never aired.

  Billy,

  Get serious! You're comparing Bill Bowen to MLK? Exhale whatever it is that you're smoking!

  Edited to add:

  Sorry guys, but I'm not going to jump on the "let's honor Bill Bowen" bandwagon. I have seen enough of him over the years to form my own judgments. He's no Martin Luther King, and he is not deserving of any credit for making legal recourse for sexual abuse any more accessible to victims than it ever was.

  <<<< My point, and I don't care if you agree BTW, is that Bill and Barb started the process and raised the public and legal awareness of the issue.>>>>

  Your original statement:

  <<<< Without Bill Bowen and Silentlambs 10 years ago, no Candace Conti today; that is how I see it.>>>>

  It's good that you don't care if others agree, because there are no facts to support your ridiculous claim that Bill Bowen made Candace Conti possible. He didn't.

  Please clarify what actions you attribute to Bill Bowen/Silent Lambs that you believe made Candace Conti's case possible. I do not know of any.

  While the Silent Lambs site claims that all money donated there goes towards helping victims of child abuse, the site does not disclose any financial statements for Silentlambs (please correct me if I'm wrong, but I could not find any financial disclosures on the Silent Lambs site other than their claims that all money donated goes towards helping victims).

  Long ago, I got a flu shot, and had the flu shortly thereafter. I never got another flu shot. There is some evidence out there that flu shots can actually be harmful to your health. If you're interested in reading more about this, here's a link: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/11/01/flu-vaccine-and-its-side-effects.aspx

  Edited to add: I am almost never sick because I take really good care of my health. I eat well and exercise regularly, and have done so for all of my adult life and some of my childhood as well. I am very strict about this and I am very happy with the healthy result.

  Keep on flirting with what will be the worst decision of your life, and sooner or later, it will be. You're like a fly, walking close to the jaws of the venus fly trap . . .
