Couldn’t agree more! There’s often a silver lining in every dark cloud, though it may be…Read More difficult to see at the time.

Sometimes you can see blessings in hindsight; God’s faithfulness in bringing you through difficult times. He is faithful even if He chooses not to heal you on earth.

So if I read this correctly “This is absolutely gendered violence” this law is written…Read More strictly for women to persecute men? Way to go HAVEN
My ex-wife assaulted me with nails to the face, a failed kick to the groin and spastic attempts to punch and claw me followed by slamming our daughters arm in a door. I grabbed her by her neck to subdue her. she called her mother (who coincidentally railroaded her ex with false accusations and stole his business) to call 911. I ended up in jail, divorced (at her command), robbed of my children, stuck with the bills, forclosed on and a $1700.00 a month stipend for child support which she used for a house, a hummer , an expedition and who knows what? Men in this state need to unite and recognize groups like HAVEN are focused towards the destruction of Michigan families through one-sided laws written for pre-determined guilt.
I’m not saying strangling anyone shouldn’t be a felony but when HAVEN feminists are the lobbyists for these things and smugly proclaim that “MEN ARE THE ONLY GUILTY PARTY” it drives the gears in Michigans failed family courts towards a means to an end for women to opt out of marriage at any time for any reason (Like my ex) and simply make an accusation that’s so loaded with focused animosity towards the accused that we MEN stand no chance. The police will not ask for proof of being strangled, they will simply say “I can see the marks” just so they can put someone away and diffuse the situation.

After reading what happened to Angry, I can't say that I blame him. When a woman grows tired of you…Read More in this state, she can have you thrown out of your home, your children taken away and most of your earnings confiscated. She needs no proof to take out a personal protection order against you. He choked me officer, he hit me, he was yelling at me, he beat the kids. No one cares about the man or believes his side on anything, certainly not the Police or Friend of the Court. FOC are in place to suck out your life force, leaving you with barely enough energy/money to get up in the morning and go to work, if you didn't lose your job due to the antics of the woman. I do side with Angry Harry.

Melody,
Thank you for the compliment. I am a father to 3 sons, and I can not imagine the heartache…Read More your whole family must feel, and I am truly sorry for your loss. What Greg & Missy have done since Kelsey's death is truly heroic, and I am determined to do my part, and help make Michigan the 11th state to adopt the Kelsey Smith Act. Again, thank you for your comment...

For those following Kelsey's story, yesterday, West Virginia became the 10th state to adopt the…Read More Kelsey Smith Act.
I can also say that State Representative Kurt Heise, who represents Plymouth Township, has shown interest in the Kelsey Smith Act. I spoke with both Greg and Missy Smith today, and they are going to send me the exact wording of the Kelsey Smith Act to be forwarded on to Mr. Heise for review.
I would like to thank Mr. Heise for his time in reading about Kelsey, and his quick response to my emails.
We will get this done.

We have people canvassing our neighborhood to do energy audits. When I call DTE, they tell me they…Read More have "no one in your neighborhood doing this". They have ID, but anyone can make up ID's. Just say "no" and tell them if you want their audit, you will call DTE. Better safe than sorry. Same thing goes with phone solicitations....

Birgit, you are so right! Troy Public Library and Friends of the Troy Public Library are wonderful…Read More community resources that have always encouraged patrons to reduce, reuse and recycle. FYI, the Friends of Troy Public Library has a fantastic Used Book Shop in the lower level of the library Saturdays 10-1 and Sundays 1-4.

Royal Oak's library could easily have the same. All it needs is for the city commissioners and mayor…Read More to stop crying in their beer claiming Royal Oak cannot find sufficient funds while new bars mushroom overnight with their blessings. I do not entirely blame the commission, they just do the bidding of downtown as you can plainly see by the condition of the library and the park/ashtray.
There is no interest for a community oriented downtown, or to even to establish a smoke free area around the library and park where children frequent.
