Monday Teeny Poll
By Glinda
From the looks of last week’s poll, the majority of you are fine with a pregnant woman having an alcoholic drink, with sixty percent saying alcohol is fine, but has to have a limit. Twenty two percent disapproved of any alcohol at all being consumed by a pregnant woman.
I think it is interesting to note that it has only been recently that recommendations against alcohol consumption pregnancy have surfaced. For decades women drank wine and beer, and probably other stuff, and our society seems to have not collapsed. I think an occasional drink is fine, and a woman should not be vilified if she imbibes in a responsible manner.
Today’s poll is about an incident that ocurred in Calabasas, California on November 20. It seems that a Facebook group, taking a joke from South Park a tad bit too literally, promoted the beating of red-haired people as “Kick a Ginger Day.” As a result, a 12 year old was attacked by a group of fellow middle-school students and beaten.

Shame on their parents for not teaching them better…
