		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not surprised at this information.&#160; Suffrage gave us the vote but not the respect in any level of American culture.&#160; Women veterans can be nurses or ambulance drivers but never warriors.&#160; The image of women in combat still reeks of commercials to get young men to inlist.&#160; The image of women in general comes down to the size of their boobs.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe some day the women will be judged as women and not men with boobs.&#160; I am guilty of not respecting the sacrifices women make in uniform as I see all women as nurturers and healers more than killers.&#160; But I&#039;m old and not eager to learn new tricks.&#160; My hero has always been Sister Kenny and her knowledge of healing polio victims.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My girls feel equality with men and I did nothing to stop this growth in their childhood,&#160;&#160; Shoot me&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sandy&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Ya, like I said, not my opinion.&#160; I&#039;m with you on concerning The Fed.&#160; Irresponsible secret banking cabal doesn&#039;t begin to describe it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Boohoo boohoo. Victims of a militaristic culture that romanticizes war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The propaganda machine&#160;works to perfection. Commercial airwaves, the home, school, church and media too. Each does its bit to&#160;effectivity brainwash the&#160;youth. The indoctrinated become&#160;so tightly wrapped&#160;in notions of god and country they&#039;re unable to see through the myths and lies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now they shed their red blood for black gold... for the gods of an ancient legend...&#160;for glorious accolades... for the conquest of others&#160;choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So whats new... those&#160;suffering the&#160;ugly effects, enduring&#160;the lifetime of mental unrest are female?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you suppose they&#039;ll work to&#160;raise awareness. I wonder.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p>The propaganda machine&nbsp;works to perfection. Commercial airwaves, the home, school, church and media too. Each does its bit to&nbsp;effectivity brainwash the&nbsp;youth. The indoctrinated become&nbsp;so tightly wrapped&nbsp;in notions of god and country they&#8217;re unable to see through the myths and lies.</p>
<p>Now they shed their red blood for black gold&#8230; for the gods of an ancient legend&#8230;&nbsp;for glorious accolades&#8230; for the conquest of others&nbsp;choice.</p>
<p>So whats new&#8230; those&nbsp;suffering the&nbsp;ugly effects, enduring&nbsp;the lifetime of mental unrest are female?</p>
<p>Do you suppose they&#8217;ll work to&nbsp;raise awareness. I wonder.</p>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m going to take a side here no one is going to appreciate except my wife.&#160; She hates equal rights for women.&#160; She feels that women have traded their families well-being for some measure of false equality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before women were working, men worked outside the home and brought home the only paycheck.&#160; Men (mostly) provided for their families and they made enough that they could do so and allow the women to worry about care of home and children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flash forward to today.&#160; Usually both adults work now, and they both make less than when just the men worked.&#160; That&#039;s what happens when you double a workforce practically overnight.&#160; So now there are no parents at home.&#160; The houses deteriorate, but it&#039;s the family deterioration that is more troubling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Modern families allow there children to be raised by strangers at day care.&#160; The don&#039;t instill morals and values.&#160; They get sick from concentrating all those young kids together.&#160; It&#039;s a mess and terrible for the young kids but creates a perfect atmosphere for state control over thought and actions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So my wife says she would give up suffrage and the ability to work outside the home if we could just go back to the way things were in the 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s.&#160; I know, not popular since a woman&#039;s survival would depend on finding a man.&#160; But in some ways it makes sense and it would help strengthen our families.&#160; Strong families make for a strong community or society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just something to think about.&#160; Not every woman wanted suffrage.&#160; My wife does work.&#160; I stay home with the kids during the day and work during the night because I couldn&#039;t send my kids to daycare.&#160; I&#039;d rather bust my hump than allow some stranger to put their ideas in my kids heads.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Woody188,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suffrage or no suffrage, womens liberation or not, our problems can all be traced back to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the Income Tax both in the same year; ie., 1913 which allowed bankers to set up&#160;boom or bust economic cycles while allowing them to inflate the incurrency, control circulation and to create pseudo prosperity out of thin air by puffing the money supply or drying it up at will over the past 96 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Compared to a 1947 post war dollar it would now take $9.54 to equal it&#039;s buying power in 2008. So this alone tells us why mom is working along with dad and now some each having&#160;to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Also the abuse of credit on the part of consumers and the irresponsible issuance thereof by voracious, out of control banksters have added immensely to our problems. So we have a complex, toxic brew working upon this nation excluding the separate issue of being governed by crimpols in high places who are swiping the national credit card without any concern as to how the money is to be paid back. It&#039;s not, and we like Greece, Spain, Dubai Ports and a host of other nations are soon to declare sovereign insolvency causing this international house of cards banking system to collapse...! : &#124;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carl Nemo **==&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It still comes down to equality on or off the battlefields.&#160; I became a feminist when the family of mine became my responsibility.&#160; My place was in the home until the father wandered off with his secretary.&#160; I heard that the kids were too noisy and why don&#039;t they play somewhere else.&#160; I casually mention why didn&#039;t he play somewhere else and he did.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That was the day my daughters were educated to earn their own way.&#160; I ended up fitting costumes for smelly actors just so I could stay home.&#160; There was no hint of family unity at this time and my family was simply one of hundreds that split up when daddy bear could not keep his pants zipped.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went from Saks Fifth Avenue to the Salvation Army overnight.&#160; My girls learned to make choices of being housewives and mothers or being able to support the family.&#160; I am the first to declare having both is impossible.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was unprepared for this choice.&#160; My girls are not.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
