Sensible Policy #1

Saw a female Professor today talk about giving women a couple days off from work for her period...said women do society a favor by having children, so employers should make allowances for it. In this same discussion they wondered why women don't make as much money as men.

 

So, they want days off for their period, but not to stay home with their kids....and how are women doing society a favor if the village is raising them and not her? Think kids being raised as latch key kids... is hurting or helping society? Yes, this view is unpopular, but it's mine. Cut up your credit cards and go without and you won't need a job that pays less and doesn't give you period days. 

And stop having kids you can't afford.
And stop having kids out of marriage.
And stop kicking men to the curb.
And let your kids see you pray.
And let them see you doing random acts of kindness.

And quality time with your kids will come out of quantity.
Who remembers "quality" time with your mom? I don't. I remember helping her do chores, her taking me to every practice under the sun. Watching her sew. I was just glad she was around. When she started working full time, I don't remember quantity or quality because as a teen, I had my own life and seeing her was checking in before curfew and eating breakfast. 

Yes, I'm a narrow-minded Neanderthal bigot who thinks moms shouldn't work full time if at all possible. Having 300 channels, iPhones, and brand new cars to pay for doesn't count.

There, I said it.

Will We Aid In the Murders of These Little Girls

Pictures sometimes speak a thousand words. In viewing this photo of beautifully dressed little girls playing outside their Afghanistan school, what we don't see is what's important. We don't see the Taleban lurking around the corner waiting for their opportunity to take over the country again. The only thing that is stopping this is the presence of western troups and aid associations. When the coalition troups start to leave in the summer of 2011, the aid association workers and teachers will be the first to be slaughtered, quickly followed by the renewed oppression of women and girls. Schools for little girls will be blown up, women will not be allowed to work, and the Taleban will revert to "protecting" the women by isolating them within their homes or underneath rediculous burkas. Breaking their perfidious rules may mean death or rape. Actually, this is happening now in parts of the country. The "honor" rapes and killings of women and girls still happens, although behind the scenes. Unfortunately, the only thing Obama is considering when he decides to withdraw from the country is whether Al Queda has been destroyed. As soon as he is satisfied or the US political environment changes to what the hollywood liberals want, Afghanistan will be abandoned to the fate promised by the Taleban. Note that the US has had troups stationed in Germany for over 50 years, and the Huns have behaved themselves. The same should happen in Afghanistan, but don't hold your breath... remember the little girls as they are now.
