NEVADA CITY – Are you homeless or formerly homeless? If so, you know what it looks like from the bottom up because everybody was looking down on you – maybe even including yourself.

Be careful of what you wish for. … You might get it. If I knew how hard it would be to get an alternative housing ordinance passed in Nevada County, I might never have tried.

I know. I’m one of them. My impeccably reasoned argument went nowhere.

Wailing sirens are approaching. A helicopter with a water bucket chops through the smoke. The hi-lo, get-out-now! warning from a sheriff’s patrol car is piercing through the racket. A huge DC-10 VLAT (very large air tanker) flies overhead at tree-top level.

“You’re stupid.”“No one will ever love you.”“If you don’t stop crying, I’ll really give you something to cry about.”“I wish you‘d never been born.”“I’ll get you for this.”“You’ll never be as good as your brother.”“Shut up!”“Never tell anybody about this.”This is emotional child abuse — and that’s only part of the spectrum of ways you can seriously hurt a child without actually touching her.
