The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
We at TNA would like to honor the five women at Husson University who put their own lives on the line to subdue a male who was stabbing another woman in a parking lot on campus.
One of the women had just taken a self-defense class and was able to formulate a quick plan to disarm the attacker. In this day and age where people don’t wish to get involved it is even more heartening …

I was on a social network last week when I replied to a thread because I didn’t agree with the one commit about ACORN being good for poor people and how we shouldn’t listen to the Republicans about ACORN.
