Slow your roll there, Sid. You've got it backwards. Men are laughably simple creatures. It's the women who are often difficult to decipher. Don't believe me? Take a look at advertising and you'll see what I mean. Almost anything marketed to men uses hot and fast cars or hot and fast women. Commercials for women often have images of puppies, flowers or babies - plus their message is often elusive and confusing as the visual data often doesn't correlate with the product.

In the words of Opus from Bloom County, "What exactly is feminine protection anyway? A pink bazooka?"

God, I should start a marketing research firm and put all you guys to work on the side....that was some brilliant marketing analysis. I keep telling folks in the biz world the KISS principle works EVERYWHERE.

Sid, I'm not in the LEO world, but it seems to me that your instincts, questioning what's happening, are right.
Have you read the books that I've seen recommended here -- I Love A Cop, Emotional Survival For Law Enforcement, etc.?

Dr. Phil covered the marriages of first responders in a show that he did last year: Dr. Phil.com - Shows - Fireproof Your Marriage
Here's a link to the comments from some audience members: Dr. Phil.com - Messageboards - 09/25 Fireproof Your Marriage
I didn't see the show, nor do I watch Dr. Phil, but would be curious to know what you all think of this episode. (Why does anyone ever agree to discuss their marriage on national TV, I wonder?)
