09 January 18 Victimization and Self-Determination A powerful antidote for victimization is self-determination. A simple manifestation of self-determination is thinking for yourself.

Every now and then, maybe about once a week, an industrial plant about a mile from my home would sound a whistle. Then suddenly the air surrounding my home would be filled with something that smelled sickeningly sweet. It tasted, too, that way and made one feel dizzy, faint and nauseous. So I asked a friend, a chemist, about what would cause this physical reaction to me and my daughter, five years old at the time and playing outdoors, and me supervising her when the whistle would blow.
