What's happening in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia

Headlines 26 September, Savannah Morning News, "8 hours. 5 shootings. 6 injured. 2 dead."

If you thought that cooler weather would bring an end to the spate of murders, robberies, and car-jackings, you are given a reality check by today's SMN headline. Once again, Megan Matteucci, intrepid crime reporter, regales us with more violence and mayhem,, including two homicides, one 18 year old, one 37 year old, both of Savannah.

Competing with this for attention is a sidebar article, "3rd ID soldiers ordered to Iraq." We saw it coming. So this is the third rotation.

"US relaxes ban on liquids in airline cabins," by Leslie Miller. What a relief. Does this mean mothers can bring sippy cups for their toddlers?

Gender Abolitionist
You scored 66% Gender-Abolitionist, 40% Sexually Liberal, and 40 % Socialist

You are the Gender Abolitionist type of feminist. This means that you feel the best way to destroy patriarchal oppression is to rid ourselves of misguided gender roles, and instead live in a society that does not make such marked assumptions about gender differences. The Gender Abolitionist is culturally radical, but rather conservative when it comes to sexual liberation and politics. You have a strong sense of human rights for all. In fact, you are actually a very moral person. You don't see people in terms of gender and are thus very philosophical in order to perceive the world in such a manner. You think people shouldn't identify others in terms of gender. When most people see a person, the first thing they think is "That person is a woman" or "That person is a man", but they do NOT think "That person is a short-fingernail". Most make someone's gender their IDENTITY, but fingernail length would never be considered part of their identity. A gender abolitionist would claim gender should be like fingernail length--it shouldn't be part of someone's identity. By making gender a part of identity, difference is emphasized and oppression is often justified. Thus, gender shouldn't be regarded to such a large extent by society. You are mostly concerned with seeing women become fully equalized with men by eliminating gender roles, as these roles oppress women.
