Whoa - I just read something yesterday that was somewhat related to this topic about legislation to prevent insurance coverage being denied in most states in domestic violence cases. I'll see if I can find it... and post it.I don't know how I'd feel about this sort of database. I need to think on this a bit more (and completely read the article linked).
I'm suspicious of anything like this that mines data and makes presuppositions about people based on that data. It's all a little too "Minority Report" for me.*adjusts tin foil hat*
Ah, Minority Report...couldn't remember the movie...thanks, Tad...
Oh yeah. Got distracted.Going to look for article now...
OH HEEEELLLLL to the NAW! I just saw the graph for the article - that sh..tuff pisses me off.I'm with Matt - except maybe more like "WAY TOO Minority Report for me" instead of "a little too 'Minority Report' for me."

Your tin foil hat is especially cute today, Heidi.
Mine would definitely be shaped like a turkey just like this one:
OH SHOOT! Forgot about article again... brb.

Fascinating. What do you think? Intrusive? A good idea because some women might avoid abuse, even if some men are identified as potential abusers by accident? Technology run amok like a Science Fiction movie?
