If I am in error, I will apologize in advance, but I believe you responded to 
a message I ssent to Barb Murphy.  I intended to respond to it, but it is off 
the que now.
It was not my intent to be ranting.  Barb asked me if I had been abused.  My 
response in part was to ask for her criteria for determining if abuse had 
occured.  If she had responded, I intended to point out the problem in 
determining what was abuse.  The first principle of Bhudism is that all life 
is sorrowful.  There is a sound reason for stating that as a First Principle. 
We live at the expense of other organisms and other humans.  There are 
injustices that are structural and those that are personal.  My question, 
"Was I abused when forced in to the Army for two years and trained to kill 
people for your protection" raised such a distinction.  My answer to this 
would be no.  This is structural injustice, not the result of an individual 
act.  Commiting child abuse, and falsely accusing someone of child abuse are 
both individual acts and I would argue are abuse - the same class of abuse. 
Eliminating structural abuse, such as institutional and institutionalized 
child abuse are collective decisions that have to be made.  Falsely accusing 
someone of child abuse, even if wide spread, is still an issue of individual 
responsibility.  ANY individual falsely accusing someone child abuse should 
be held accountable.  I like the Hungarian solution.  If someone falsely 
accuses anyone of a crime, they recieve the same sentence the falsely accused 
individual would have recieved if he had been guilty.  I hope this corrects 
any misperceptions./
