I Won The Tripple Crown

Right. Let me preface my post, I don't give a shit. Do not argue with me I do not want to hear it. I do not care about the decision. It is not my job to opine. Don't use this to back up your argument or dissect it as rubbish propaganda from the military. This is simply what a two-star general told us yesterday was the reasoning for going to Iraq. Again. I don't want to argue. I am not trying to change your mind because I could give a shit less about the argument.
You live in your neighborhood. You have a wife, or husband, three kids a dog and for the most part good relations with your neighbors. In a cul-de-sac a few blocks from your street every woman on the street is being abused by her husband. For the most part everyone has his or her suspicions about what is going on. But no one wants to get involved because for the most part things are peaceful. Christmas parties and trick or treating and block parties. The neighborhood has its moments where things are plain nice.
One day you realize that all these women are in great danger. Bruises are more common. Hospital visits frequent. The kids don't play. One of the husbands you have a past with. Maybe he tried to run over your dog or something. His wife may not catch the worst of the beatings, but you recognize it is easier to help someone if you have a history with them.
You consider the possible outcomes of helping. You consider a thousand a thousand possibilities. One is appealing. Say you help this woman. What happens to the rest of the women? Do their husbands beat them worse out of fear of the wives following the first? Do they change the abuse, switching from physically to mentally abusing? Do they change their ways and seek counseling to help their marriage? Does nothing change? Do the women still not feel that they can escape? Do the women stand up and force change?
You decide it is worth the risk of everything for the possibility that the women will better their lives. You help the one woman. Shit happens. The husband comes over drunk and punches you in the eye. He steals your mail. He slashes your tires. You continue to support the woman. Ensure her that it is hard but worth it.
She leaves him. Files a restraining order. Kicks him out and starts to date a decent guy. We all know how people are. The ex shows up and tries to reconcile. Maybe start a fight with the new guy. Use kids against the wife. You continue to support the woman.
Now you wait to see if the example she sets will inspire hope in the other women.
