The most salient Amanda comment

World media reaction to Knox verdict - Telegraph: "“Women are responsible for only about one in ten violent crimes,” says crime expert David Canter"

We men are so boring. Sort of like billionaires. Having ten to 100x power over things, as it were. We have a shameful human condition which derives from our failure to grasp the scintilla of free choice that we have. It is a precious fund within each of us. It is called values. Ontological values placed there by whoever I Am is. These enable a person to choose between greed and community. Between selfishness and selfhood. Between violence and negotiation. Between Jesus and creed. Between obeisance to lesser deities and non-idolatry. Religion formalizes all of this and franchises it like a pie, in synch with the behavior of principalities and powers. We nomads of the universe try to move things in a reasonable way, but we do not like celebrity and freeze before media. It takes millions of us unassuming and ready to make a difference. That is what is happening now. When it is all over maybe the ratio of male to female violence will diminish a trice. We push to gain inches. But this is the century of change, of the unprecedented, of global democratic revolution.
