  • The Blame Game
    The Blame Game Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt Yom Kippur 2005 If Jeffrey Zaslow, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal is not a rabbi, he should be. He recently wrote a column entitled, “It’s All Your Fault: Why Americans can’t stop playing the Blame Game” which reads like a High Holiday Yom Kippur sermon. He wrote insightfully about the finger pointing currently taking place among federal and local officials over the multiple failures and breakdowns associated with Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Eric Dezenhall, a crisis-management consultant in Washington, D.C. explained, "Every event must have a villain, a victim and a vindicator in order for our culture to understand it. History is calamity-driven, but Americans feel these things shouldn't happen here, and someone must be at fault." There are people who actually study the biology and psychology of blame. Ohio University psychology professor Mark Alicke is one of them. He explains, "The human impulse to blame grows out of the evolutionary need to avert harm. If a group of early humans thought their survival was threatened because a member wasn't carrying his load -- hunting, gathering, whatever -- they'd point fingers, throw rocks, even commit murder. Nowadays things are a bit more sophisticated. You can go on the internet to buy a "calibrated blame-shifting device" for $4.95 from a clever ad agency. It is actually a giant foam hand with the words "It's your fault!" printed on the pointing finger. “Our blame culture is rooted in both nature and nurture. We still succumb to primitive impulses: If we stub a toe on a chair, we'll kick it and curse at it, even though we know it's irrational to blame inanimate objects.

  • Selected Chronology of Political Protests and Events in Lawrence
    SELECTED CHRONOLOGY OF POLITICAL PROTESTS AND EVENTS IN LAWRENCE 1960-1973 By Clark H. Coan January 1, 2001 LAV1tRE ~\JCE~ ~')lJ~3lj(~ ~~JGR§~~Frlt 707 Vf~ f·1~J1()NT .STFie~:T LA1JVi~f:NCE! i(At.. lSAG GG044 INTRODUCTION Civil Rights & Black Power Movements. Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.

BRENHAM FLORAL COMPANY D/B/A BRENHAM FLORAL, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law Washington County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2011-092 MEMORANDUM OPINION Robert Kelly d/b/a Brenham Flowers appeals the post-answer default judgment for appellee, Brenham Floral Company d/b/a Brenham Floral. In two issues, Kelly contends that the trial court abused its discretion in (1) denying his motion for new trial to set aside the default judgment and (2) awarding attorney’s fees in the amount of $12,895 to Brenham Floral. We affirm. Background Brenham Floral, a florist shop in Brenham, Texas, has been in business since 1962. In February 2011, Kelly opened Brenham Flowers located at 801 A&B South Market Street, in Brenham, Texas.1 On May 24, 2011, Brenham Floral sued Kelly for trademark infringement, unfair competition, and dilution based on Kelly’s use of “Brenham Flowers.” In its lawsuit, Brenham Floral alleged that Kelly’s use of the name “Brenham Flowers” and “Brenham Wildflowers” had “caused numerous instances of actual confusion, mistake, or deception among members of the relevant consuming public, all to the detriment of [Brenham Floral] and its goodwill.” Brenham Floral sought injunctive relief and recovery of its attorney’s fees.2 On August 11, 2011, Kelly filed a letter addressed to the court clerk which functioned as his answer to the lawsuit.
