Welcome to the United States of America! Land of the free and home of the brave.

Down with feminism, someone's place is in the home.

A woman's place is in the home.  The man should bring home the bacon, a woman looks best when barefoot and pregnant.  Ideas like those were around forty plus years ago and with a little help from some feminist women things became a lot more equal.  Now I'm not writing this article to split hairs and examine just how equal we actually are, I'm here to talk about the great big downside to the feminist movement and why it's time to put it to bed and begin the "humanist movement".

Women left home and got their rights and joined the workplace in full force.  And that, made everything go to hell.  Men used to command salaries which could support the entire family.  With women joining the workforce and possibly doubling the number of qualified applicants over a short period of time, wages went down and when you combine that with the other issues such as immigration and illegals hopping the fence from Mexico, you have both parents in the family working, sometimes each having more than one job and still not making ends meet easily.  

Thats not the only downside of women finally gaining equal rights.  Family and society has suffered in so many ways because there's no longer anyone home full-time making a home ...A HOME.  Children no longer have as strong of an ethical and moral base because the person who's supposed to be there guiding them into adulthood is busy finishing that report that's due in the morning or both parents are just too tired after a long day and so the family needs to go eat out at KFC instead of a home cooked meal.  
No one to decorate and enhance the home
No one to prepare healthy meals on a regular basis
No one to host dinner parties and social affairs so that people spend more time together instead of in front of a computer or Xbox. 
No one to focus on the needs of their children full time. 
No one to take full time interest in improving the neighborhood and community in which they live and making it a better place.  

I could probably go on and make a list with more than a hundred items but I think the point is made, the quality of life of everyone has suffered and the quality of human beings our children are raised to become has suffered tremendously.  Creating a happy, well adjusted society full of people is a full-time job, one that simply cannot be micro-managed and multi-tasked.  All thanks to women departing from their 1950's values and joining the workplace.  

If we're ever going to heal as a people and as a society, we need focus more on family and friends.  We need to get people back out of the workplace and back home to make life better for everyone.  We should examine some of our societal habits and decide as individuals if they are really best for us, or if we're doing it because of some preconceived notion.  Do we really need to leave home at age 18?  Do grandparents or an aunt or uncle need to live apart or have their own residence?  When possible couldn't extended family live together not only to save money, but to live together in a place that offers a true home for everyone.  

Which is really better, if when possible, should a 21 year old, that 21 year old's middle aged parents, and one set of grandparents all live apart or would it be better if everyone pooled their income for a very modest sized house where everyone had ample space for their own living, yet still under the same roof so you had a much stronger support system?  Which would you rather have?  A one bedroom apartment by yourself or a spacious bedroom in a large 6 bedroom house?  I wonder if those who would pick being alone is a result of the society we live in?  Do we really want to live completely alone like that or would we be happier if we could live together so long as the others gave us the space and respect we all need to live our own lives?  

With all thats happened in the last thirty years, from the 1980s until now I think we really need to make the transition from feminism to humanism.  With sleep and work encompassing 2/3rds of our lives, I believe we need to start in the workplace to affect real change in healing our society and becoming the Americans we really want to be.  

The first thing we need to change is our education system.  You should graduate high school with a general study bachelors or associates degree.  It used to be that you could graduate high school and make an decent living without college.  Today you can't.  The state needs to support education for every individual until they have marketable job skills.  Now I'm talking about a complete radical change in education as well know it, do it feasible.  Accelerate classes so that you actually finish high school around 15 or 16 then extended high school by two years and everyone completes general college classes from 16-20, where you still attend a "college college" for the specialties that colleges offer.  

Next is the workplace, many couples who marry have similar levels of education and experience, job sharing could be an answer for some couples.  Working from home.   Establishing manor regulations that give tax breaks for families that cohabitate under the same roof.  In some jobs, providing living quarters for familys on the job site.  There are a lot of practical and common sense alternatives which we could provide that would help restore one person in the home at all times.  Individuals could chose who would be the homemaker or alternate that position if they prefered.  Laws could be made protecting a home, preserving it for the eldest child or who they appoint so that when a home is built, they are built as castles to stand the test of time and be there for generations.

Glossary of Politically Correct Terminology

Here are a few terms coined in our new politically correct age and what I believe they really mean:
I'll be adding to this list as I feel it necessary...



Excuse Me Please:  
Fuck you maggot, get out of my way.


Online Piracy:  RIAA, MPAA, MP3s, downloading music and movies.  
A term coined by the RIAA and MPAA to make downloading movies and mp3s off the internet sound much more criminal than it actually is.  The RIAA an MPAA complains they are losing billions yearly to piracy, when they are actually not losing a dime.  They, just like the oil industry and gas powered cars, are attempting to control the innovation of their industry because they fear it might cost them money.  Capitalism at its finest was meant to promote free and open trade, not stifle scientific advances because industries have setup finely honed systems to make steady incomes for themselves.  (ex. Buying a printer for $30 bucks so they can then sell you a color and black ink cartridge for $50)  We all know the truth, when you download that copy of Right Said Fred's "I'm too sexy" and dance to it while you're getting ready for work, you're not robbing anyone because no one in their right mind would buy that 20 year old song anyways.  Billions of people are too poor to afford a decent music collection at $15-$20 per album, they wouldn't have bought it anyways.  If the RIAA and MPAA truly get their way, they'll stifle their own market with less exposure to their artists creative work while trying to keep their money machine intact.  Meanwhile, poor youtube can't be the great video repository we'd all like it to be and every "Joe" who makes a derivative video fumbles to reiterate something that sounds like legal jargon about copyright laws underneath their video clip of something cool they saw on TV last week.

Wal-Mart, watch for falling prices, price drop. (Slave Wages)
Guess what we found an even poorer asian country than the one we're currently working out of who'll make products for hundreds of times less than it would cost to pay an american worker to do the same job.  Remember kids, the owners of wal-mart build their own apocalyptic bomb shelter to hide in, they are ready for it all to go to hell so they don't care if that toy you bought your child was made by paying someone 10 cents an hour working 14 hour days 7 days a week.

Zero Tolerance:  Zero Tolerance Drug Policy, Zero Tolerance Hazing.  
Rather than spend the time, money or effort it would take to do right by you, we are instituting a zero tolerance policy to throw you out if you do something that might make us look bad or cost us more money. Your just not worth the trouble you cause to us.  Get out.

When blood is blood, how do you appraise the value of a soul?

I was sitting around early in the morning one day, smoking a cigarete, thinking about national healthcare issues.  *wink*
So the thought came to me, you have a bum on the street and a rich, wealthy corporate executive.  Both need a heart transplant, all else equal, you have one heart and can save only one and in doing this, you will definitely extend the life of that person by thirty years...

Who do you save?

The executive is 55 years now and will live to be 85. 
The bum is 25 and will die at age 55 with complications to his second heart.
Note:  for the sake of this hypothetical, the need for the heart has nothing to do with lifestyle, both had genetic heart defects from birth.  

Who do you save?  
If the hospital doing the surgery saves the executive, he will not only pay for his surgery in full, but will have an epiphany after his surgery and donate enough money for the hospital to add a new wing to the medical center. 
If they give the bum the heart, since the bum has no money and no insurance, the hospital will have to absorb the entire cost of the surgery, it will take the hospital one year to recover the costs incurred by the surgery.  

Who do you save? 
The rich, wealthy executive is a good person and has done much for his company, his employees and his country.  He's used his influence, money and power in a positive way.  
The bum, has sat on the street corner and begged money and drank most of their life.  They haven't made a lot of positive contributions to anything?  

Who do you save?  
Finally a look into the future...
The executive has several children already, rather spoiled, but one will continue on with the executive's work and positively affect the world, but in order to do this, they need to be influenced by an event or conversation they'll have with the executive 5 years after the transplant.  

The bum will live out the rest of their life making no contributions to society or anyone, save one, they'll have a child, who after growing up with the parent they have vows never to be like them.  With some hard work they used their company to revolutionize the entire country, thanks to the inspiration from this one person everyone drives alternative energy vehicles, along with several other major changes, it turns the economy around completely and in turn the whole world.  Every industry is changed for the better through science, technology, innovation all with solid moral and ethical choices thanks in great part to a push from this one individual.  

Who do you save?  

Well you can't look into the future when you make decisions like this and that's the problem.  People look at how much money a person has, or their success and look no further.  You can feel confident you're making the right decision based on the information and still be making the wrong choice.  The reason why you'll always make the wrong choice is because it really isn't our choice to make.  We have to remember a soul's value can't be measured, it simply is.  If we measure the value of an individual by how much money they make, their job, their successes, their possessions, then we are disillusioned.  The greatest most successful man on earth  is truly no better or worse than a bum on the street.  We all bleed and we all die, we are the same.
