I have a list of the guys I’ve slept with and some I don’t even remember.

By pressured do you mean against your will?

Do any of those men regret sleeping with you?

Question of the day:

“We can’t keep waiting for a solution to come from the government.”

 Williams said she hoped that her keynote address, “Community Based Solutions to the Issue of Violence,” would leave the community fired up to make changes — changes that she has seen work firsthand.

“Start with the women and follow them because when you give women a voice great things happen,” she said. “I’m not sexist in any way — sexism is another form of violence and there are many great men in this world. I’m taking my Daddy’s advice because he always told me that women think first with their hearts, and then their heads. After that, he said, ‘You’d better step out of their way.’”

Gang violence can be stopped, Williams said, but not from afar. Getting close to those involved in violence is an important component in promoting peace. She told the story of John Irwin, an 18-year-old IRA member who walked into her office in 1976 intending to kill her.

“I saw his gun, and I saw that his hand was shaking,” Williams recalled. “So I jumped up and hit his hand. The gun went flying and he was stunned.”

Williams shoved the young man into a chair and told him she was not going to call the police.

“But I told him I was keeping his gun,” Williams said. “Then, I started seeing him hanging around the building. One day, he came in and I made him a cup of tea.”

Williams discovered that Irwin was so impressed with her courage that he was starting to think more and more about peace.

“He mistook my adrenaline for bravery,” she said. “We became very close and developed a mother-son kind of bond. And John Irwin became one of the greatest peace workers in Northern Ireland.”

I think that is the mother. It’s rare to be hand fed by a human . The poor bugger must’ve been starving.

If she had babies back in the den, do you think she would risk that close of human contact? But I've never seen another human besides JN that wild animals trust. She could probably sleep with a bear and come out refreshed and unharmed.
