ford2custom, It may sound like babbling to you and that's part of the problem. You simply do not understand the big picture. No, my mother should not have had the right to vote, nor my daughter. I love both of them, but women are not equipped to reason, they're only equipped to react to emotional input.
Barb, where are you?
This mess didn’t happen over night, I just watched the second part of a two part series on Truman last night. The series before that was about Roosevelt. Yes, there was back room deals with cigar smoking, whiskey drinking deals being made. Japan would not surrender so Truman thought to save American lives he had to drop the bomb.
Truman was no saint. He had a criminal set him up into politics but after he saw with his own eyes what was going on he tried to do the right thing. Looking back through history we all think everything was fine but there were the rich big business owners just like today. Thank God we have some people in power that are not willing to go along with people that aligned themselves with the likes of Ken, Lay.
I’ve seen jobs offered for 100 people and over a 1,000 stand in line trying to get a minimum wage paying job. In the early 80’s work was bad, I cut grass for $4.00 and hour after making $18.00 an hour with very good benefits from my regular job, I shovel snow, painted houses for $5.00 an hour during the same period of time when work was bad. I said most of the people, not all, do not want to be a dependant upon the government.
When our politicians let Japan flood our Country with their cars, and would not let our cars into their Country that helped create the mess we are in. When the government let our companies go to other Country’s to make our products and send them back here they helped with the mess.
The article that Jim posted tells a lot of the crooked politicians lining their pockets. Look at our schools. The teachers look like bums. They use to dress like professional people. How can a student have respect for a male teacher having a ponytail and wearing blue jeans?
Most people if telling the truth, would say if asked who writes the checks in your house would say the wife. Who has the worries if the payment gets paid to the mortgage company? The women run the house not the man at least the ones I know. You may think I’m a weak person for saying that but unless you the worked as I did working in steel mills foundries, walking steel 300’ in the air putting up tower cranes. As an apprentice walking steel beams and carrying planks with a person behind hoping he does not screw up when your 13 floors with the ground below. I fell off a building busted both arms, and both knee's are bad one has had 5 surgery’s and it needs to be replaced, the other needs surgery. I still need more surgeries on my back but I’m too old to think I could get better. My back, and neck is so bad I feel like each morning just ended it to get rid of the pain.
I feel honored to have a wife who has stood by my side for 39 years.
Like I said in previous post I didn’t go to college, I finished high School in the Army, I did my part for this Country while others were dodging the draft. I would imagine a lot of those draft dodgers went on to be business owners getting rich. I wanted to make sure my daughter went to college so she could be equal to anybody but guys like you don’t think she deserved that right. My daughter is the sole provider in the family but I guess that doesn’t count. She has three young boys, and her husband is a college graduate from the one with gold top, so who is the bad guy? I tried to tell my daughter that she married into a family that believed in the women being bare foot and pregnant now she supports the family. The way people use other then their real names that could have been written by her husband because he truly feels that way and she is bringing home the paycheck that he is the disburser of.
I thought when you wrote that post yesterday that you may have had too many cold ones but now I’m not so sure, and if other people believe this way of thinking we are really in trouble.
One of the jobs that I worked on was at a chemical plant, which later exploded, and a highly educated lady chemist was missing. Ironworkers were sent in to recover her body. I found the lady and believe me; you don’t want to pump lead into anyone unless maybe you’re willing to go to Iraq. There are women over there that will sacrifice their life to kill our Soldiers.
