    Politics is an evil enterprise. I understand religions encouraging members to avoid it. But why discourage higher education?
    Where is the danger in becoming MORE knowledgeable about the world, how things work, what others think? Isn't wanting one's children to EXCEL and become the very best they can be what parents do or OUGHT to do? Isn't education a key to facilitating that? ...  more

    No, I do not think it is inappropriate.  I was raised in a family where parenting was done by two adults.  It was a team effort.  Whether your blood was the same didn't matter. I have a father and I have a dad.   I think if a chil...  more

    Sure, but every year it changes in the same direction. Where is the imagination, where is the the year when I grow suddenly 2 years younger? It Is Ageism, pure Ageism. I get persequted with Ageism.

    The trumpican women didn't fare so well in elections as did the Dem gals. Is the why because trumpican men don't vote for them?
    The trumpican men prefer their women to be silent, obedient, quiet and "know their place"? Man rules. Women obey. Period?

    I think it's up to the parents to decide if they're both still living and involved in the children's lives. Why? Because parents should be the ultimate decision makers for their child/ren.
