About
The Common Scold



The Common Scold is named after a cause of action that originated in Pilgrim days, when meddlesome, argumentative, opinionated women who displeased the Puritan elders were punished by a brisk dunk in the local pond. Believe it or not, the tort lasted until 1972, when State v. Palendrano, 120 N.J. Super. 336, 293 A.2d 747 (N.J.Super.L., Jul 13, 1972) pretty much put it to rest. But the thought of those feisty women, not afraid of a little cold water, has always cheered me up and inspired me. I first used the moniker as the name of my humor column at the University of San Francisco School of Law many moons ago, and revive it now for this blawg!

POST A COMMENT, FEED A FAMILY

Tyson

Tyson's using social networking
to promote its HungerRelief program. For every post it gets it will donate  food to feed Eastern Mass. families. Check it out!

Update: There were problems with the previous link (not sure if they are continuing the SN program). However, I have updated the link to the company's HungerRelief website (3/30/09). Main site is www.tyson.com.

Comments

Great news! There were more than enough comments to fill two trucks worth of food - 70,000 pounds, I think. Beth Kanter talks more about the event on her blog - http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2008/12/social-media-breakfast-leverages-two-truckloads-of-tyson-food-donation-for-boston-food-bank.html.

And if your readers want to do more, they should check out the Feeding America Fill a Bowl, Feed America campaign - http://feedingamerica.org/take-action/fill-a-bowl.aspx. Kraft has offered to match donations. Just $5 means 160 bowls of food for hungry families.

And if they are looking for other ways to give, check out my post at Technola, where I give a few ideas - http://techno.la/2008/12/05/holiday-giving/, including a no-cost way of supporting Pro Bono Net, a nonprofit that helps legal aid and pro bono programs develop partnerships and use technology to better serve low-income communities.

Man, if Tyson can do something like this, why not the others? Imagine what world hunger would look like if every capable company just did a little bit.

I wonder why he decided on the name change, btw? Maybe something to do with working in Canada and the laws here? Or just a personal decision? Either way, its great that Carlyle is so excited and happy to be working on SGU.

I think, this theme is quite actual now. There were more than enough comments to fill two trucks worth of food - 70,000 pounds, I think.
