My husband has come to the conclusion that there it appears that if people have enough money, or power, they can break any damn law they want and get away with it. And looking at how Bush and Cheney have broken one law after another, or made horrible moral blunders, that if we do nothing but let them become the X-Mr. President and treat them as such, then there is no reason to just follow any laws. Our moral compass does not exist if we do not prosecute all the same - I swear it's been eight long horrible years - we were attacked on Bush's watch, we invaded a sovereign nation, we refuse to cooperate re: climate, pollution, nuclear controls with the rest of the world. We arm nations and point them at other nations and back nations that are practicing genocide. We have allowed torture - so if your kid starts torturing cats - how do we tell them to stop- Bush did worse. People died in the mess in New Orleans - they sat thirsty and hungry. We delivered goods to the middle of the pacific/indian ocean but couldn't drop water in NO. I get so mad I wanna smash things and I am a grandma. Bush is not welcome at my farm - I swear I'd chase him off with a gun.
My husband is a feminist - he works for American Airlines, likes to ride his harley and rides on the coldest days - so his coworkers thinks he is one tough old man. But he will cook, fold laundry, clean house, and put up shelves, carry and bale - we live on a small truck farm. He doesn't tell me how to live, expect me to do all the house work and he genuinely likes women - he is generous with tips to the waittresses, and he jokes and talks to the bank tellers. There's a lot of men who only like women for sex but can't hardly stand to be around them for any other reason - I much prefer men who are feminists - who genuinely care about females. Our only child - was a staff sargent in the USAF - she loaded bombs on F-16s and got out shortly before bush started the war in Iraq. She is one strong, independent mom who has raised her son thru 3 Iraq deployments by her husband and he will spend the next year in Korea. She will care for herself, use the snow blower, feed the horse and dog and work a full time job - she's got what it takes cuz she had a father who believed in her just as much as I did. We need lots of feminist men - girls need feminist fathers as do sons. It isn't about anything more than equal right.
