MLK JRs widow died
As did Betty Friedan, whose 1963 book "The Feminine Mystique" helped inspire the modern feminist movement and who co-founded the National Organization for Women. She died on Saturday on her 85th birthday, at her home in Washington of congestive heart failure, just before 3 p.m. EST, her cousin Emily Bazelon told Reuters. [old and alone her heart quit working]
"For Betty, feminism was an aspect of humanism. And one of her sons said this morning that she demonstrated that sheer intelligence could trump lack of intelligence," Bazelon said. [I bet he has been trumped a lot. LOL]
Has anyone drawn a correlation between 1963 and 2003 to see what the divorce rate was like during those 40 yrs versus the 40 years prior to 1963? How about the number of gays and lesbians, did it rise or stay the same?
Not that I think women should be ‘kept down’, but it would seem that each of us have unique gifts and are created for specific purposes. Women are not designed the same as men. The US Army teaches that by using the ‘wide arm’ push up women can excel. And matched against an average male can usually out perform him at this task. However, by changing to a standard or even a diamond or ‘close hand’ push up, the male then demonstrates he is better built for this task.
On to the intellectual, I believe women make better Real Estate agents. Men seem to come off like a ‘used car dealer’. Men make better Mechanics, for similar yet reversed feeling by the customer. Are these things ‘right or wrong’? I do not know, but it is how we think as humans.
NOW and the feminist movement does not concede these ideals. They think we are all created the same. Well, I know I did not see everyone as an equal when picking a mate. Why?, because everyone is not created equal for everything. Some people lacked the gender to provide me with a mate. Others may have had an annoying voice [remember Janice on Friends?]. Each one of us is created with talents, usually these talents and skills are of a specific type that the attributes of a certain gender will excel in that area. Ever seen a male barrel racing champion?
SUPPORT DENMARK: WHY THE FORBIDDEN CARTOONS MATTER
BY Michelle Malkin · January 30, 2006 09:37 PM
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Thousands of Syrians enraged by caricatures of Islam's revered prophet torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus on Saturday - the most violent in days of furious protests by Muslims in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
An embassy is considered sovereign territory. Considering that the Syrian government operates a police state, it is clear that this could not have happened without at least the acquiescence of the Syrian government. I believe that Syria has just created a legal basis for invasion by NATO (since both Denmark and Norway are members of NATO).
These ‘cartoons’, which M Malkin has posted on her site, do not look offensive to me. Judge for yourself, and please let me know if they are offensive to you. I mean Christians have endured Christ’s’ mother being painted in human feces without burning any buildings down. Also, these ‘offensive’ drawings were published in October of last year. So, why are the protests going on now? And where did they get the Danish Flags? Now, they are calling for ‘cartoon’ submissions of the holocaust to print in Islamic papers. Well, that sure seems like a peaceful response. And how is the holocaust related to Denmark or any prophet type guy?
New Orleans 'risks extinction'
In the chaos that followed the worst natural disaster in American history, a forensic investigation has been taking place to find out what went wrong and why.
I’m sure with some of our elected officials, and Governor BLANKedOut at the helm, the rest of our cities will follow. I just wanted to say thanks Rep Jefferson for misusing the National Guard, thanks Mayor Nagin for acting like an ass, thanks, Gov for inviting the CHIPs over to kick the crap out of old ladies. These clowns still have not answered for the Gestapo tactics during the storm.
V for Vendetta looks VERY interesting. I may have to take a trip to the theatre.
"Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American Flag... [W]e have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." - Theodore Roosevelt
