You are partially correct. We are letting the legal system
do its work. Everything stated is the truth... so libel will not
enter into the equation. However, should anyone wish to pursue
the matter, criminal convictions of Janet Brouse, Cheryl Sattin, etal.
are likely. Since we do not have the enforcement power,
we can only tell the truth and hope to be heard.

You have my complete support....
In our current societal climate, it is very hard to portray the
man as the victim of spousal abuse. People choose not to believe
it could happen, but it does with great regularity. The
legal system is stacked against the husband for this very reason
and it's NOT right.
We respond:
Thank you.

It would seem that the Internet, touted as the "Great Equalizer", will be the key to preserving our freedoms in
the good ol' US of A. The "power of the pen" as Ben Franklin
put it.
I say, let the truth be told.
The bias towards men in the family in modern day America is, to say the least, alarming.
We respond:
Well, it's funny you should mention this.
Ya know... using words to help? Using
the truth to help shield the abused? In terms
of modern music, two of the children's current
favorites have to do with this sort-of thing --
"This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and
"I Write Sins Not Tragedies":
I am an arms dealer,
Fitting you with weapons in the form of words....
This ain't a scene, it’s a goddamned arms race!
Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter. "And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!" No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality....
Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved. Well, this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne....
Ironically, there are censored versions of both of these songs for the radio. The kids can't understand... of all the words to censor... and that the word is censored in 2 of their favorite songs... er, a... why would they censor the word God?
Hmmmm... come to think of it... why would anyone want to suppress Good?
... please stay tuned.
