attractive, or irresponsible?

Ynez Sines, Mexican sportscaster in the midst of a sexual harrassment suit against the NY Jets, maintains her right to look beautiful on the job. Her provocative dress may garner her more than just attention. The wrong kind might see her raped, or worse. My concern is for her safety…hugmamma.

in the moment, “live-life-large”

  • “the human connection” by ashley montagu and floyd matson

    "Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
