    But the second part that is tempting is to say -- therefore, let's go back. Let's go back to normal -- the problem is normal wasn't working for a lot of people, over decades, and Republican and Democratic presidents have let us down and Democrats can't take it back to the '90s, any more than Conservatives can take it back to the '50s.

  5. Eleni Linos:

    As technology becomes more sophisticated and people start to use their phones interactively for an increasing number of daily tasks, it would not be surprising if they also increasingly turned to electronic devices for help with personal, health and safety issues, the phone user needs to retain the power to choose what happens. Every domestic violence and sexual assault situation is different, and the phone won't know if the abuser suddenly re-enters the room, grabs the phone, or starts listening in. It's tempting to say that the phone should automatically dial 9-1-1, but that could lead to an increase in the number of accidental calls, limit emergency services' capacity to respond to actual urgent calls, and worst of all might tip off the perpetrator that his or her victim is trying to get help.
