This morning I woke in a great mood, took a 30-minute walk with Guinevere, my Golden Retriever, worked in my rose garden for two hours, then took a shower and washed my hair. It was turning into a great day. Then I turned on the news to watch while I blow dried and curled my hair.

I am so ashamed on behalf of humanity, so ashamed on behalf of men and civilization, and so ashamed on behalf of India.

Just finding out that I was an incest victim, even though my father had told me twice, was a shock in itself. My best friend...
