December 6 - St. Nick opposes violence against women

 No, not that St. Nick, Saint Nicholas, who died on this day in 343AD.


Apparently he did some miracles.

Wholly the opposite of miracles was the terrible massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal in 1989.

In honour of the 10 women killed that day, Canada instituted the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.  Bit of a mouthful, but oh so important.

November 25 - Hit Homers, not Women

 November 25th is known as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.  I won't say any more about that as it's as serious as it can be.


Just don't hit women.

Be like Joe DiMaggio and hit home runs instead.  He would have been 107 years old today.
