Dad goes all Liam Neeson over daughter's pot fine
We welcome your readers to join the movement. Respectfully yours, and always!
-- John A. McKenna, executive director, Operation Respect
Dear John: Thank you for getting in touch. Operation Respect was founded by singer Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul and Mary), and does extensive "peace work" in schools.
Quoting here from a letter by Yarrow on your organization's website: "...let's stop focusing on the battle that's raging and live the legacy of goodness in our hearts for ourselves, and for our children's sake, and the sake of our future."
Dear Amy: I 100 percent disagree with your answer to "Wondering" about sending an email to her father's friend who kissed her 15 years ago.
You missed a huge point! She invited this kiss by sitting and holding hands while he talked to her.
Wondering has half the responsibility for giving vibes that kissing her was OK!
(I'm a woman, by the way.)
-- Not Wondering
Dear Not Wondering: "Wondering" was 18 years old. This man was a friend of her father's. I got the impression that -- far from sending "vibes" -- she did not want to hold hands with him. She certainly didn't want to kiss him.
