Nothing like a little vandalism to darken someone's day.

Between September 29th and October 4th, either someone was sloppy with a soccer ball, or they have an extreme way of voicing a political opinion.

This was the scene at South Dakota Right to Life on South Central Avenue in Pierre. The Director, Brock Greenfield, arrived back at his office after working in and out of town (including serving on the South Dakota Task Force to Study Abortion). And what he found was a glassy mess.

I'm told there was not just a little glass, but a lot of it all over the sidewalk in front of the building. Luckily, they have a double pane of glass in this window, but it still is a big expensive broken window.

I can only hope that this was a random incident involving a kid and an errant ball. Because in our society, differences of opinion should be argued and debated. Not taken out on property.

If anyone cares to make a donation towards the replacement of the window, you can send a check to:
SDRTL
P.O. Box 1032
Pierre, SD 57501

You can also contact the Pierre Police Department if you have any information on this being anything other than an accident.

That is unfortunate. I would hope you're right, PP, in that an accident of some sort is the cause.

There can be no doubt that readers of the SD Blogs know I have a very low opinion of the right-to-life movement, but if this is an act of vandalism, the perpetrators need to be hunted down and duly punished.

Vandalism is disgusting no matter who the victim. Those of us with blogs get blasted with the online form of vandalism on nearly a daily basis.

Still have plywood over a few windows shot out be vandals. We have had several haystacks burned by vandals who also happened to be arsonists.

Vandals with rifles routinely cause many thousands of dollars of damage to highway signs.

I guess I don't quite understand those who get joy out of making others miserable.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
