Not that I'm suggesting that something like this would "never" happen in Canada, but I believe it's safe to say that the likelihood is *much* lower. There are many reason why I don't want to live in the US and this is a perfect example of one of them. I'm curious to know if this was a one night stand or a regular dance. And if a regular dance, if that particular lady was someone who regularly attended that dance, or was someone there for the first time. Unfortunately, all these stories do (and I do understand that they likely make up a *very* small percentage of occurrences)is make me wonder if I should be calling in the US.... And that seems a real shame to me. <sigh> Bev p.s. I've had one person respond to me directly about this and he wisely mentioned that there are other caller lists that I don't participate in, and potential callers who don't participate in those or use email. Therefore it's difficult for me to get a sense of whether there's an interest and critical mass in Canada to investigate coverage here.
