| Now, in fairness, I think Autism Speaks now does have one member of its board who is on the Spectrum. That's a start. We need a lot more than that. John Elder Robison? Not anymore. He resigned. There's some info online, including his resignation letter to Liz Feld (I think). http://jerobison.blogsp... |

| Toronto city council voted by a wide margin on Monday to slash the budget of embattled Mayor Rob Ford — a dramatic move that followed a raucous day in the council chambers that left the mayor promising that next year’s municipal election will be "outright war."

| As someone who considers Toronto my hometown and has been following Rob Ford's despicable antics since 2011/2012, I could see this coming. This is proof that if you post something on a computer: it's there forever. It doesn't matter if someone deletes a video: the police can always reassemble it. A... |

In the ancient tribes any embarrassment would be known and remembered throughout the whole tribe due to fact that everybo... |
