Oh, ok, both of you are just as critical of the student mom vs. the working mom. So you are consistent. That has not been my experience in the past... ok. I can only say that I am miserable when I don't work. Some people seem to think that this predisposition and desire to work disqualifies them as a group to be mothers. I think thats a little judgmental but would bend if there was some hard evidence to back up the claims that 2 working parents are worse than one. But back to Columbine, since somebody else brought it up... the apparent eagerness I see in large groups (conservative groups, etc.) to denounce any deviation from their extreme ideals so virilently... the way they don't hesitate to say that my pov is BAD and theirs is GOOD... on any number of issues... is the root cause of all this violence, imo, and its quite ironic.

Any opinion on the little boy, now in Miami with relatives, whose father (and Castro) want returned to Cuba?

X, you are not being entirely realistic, IMO. In most societies, historically, children have not been "raised" by a single parent (the mother), but by a whole community of parents & parental surrogates -- aunts, uncles, grandparents, older siblings, neighbors, servants, & etc. Raising a kid is normally a group project, which is fine by me. Much as I love my kids, I have to confess that I personally would have gone stark raving mad if I had had to spend morning, noon, and night "raising' them, without the opportunity to dump them on somebody else! And, fortunately, they love me too -- or at least they say they do! <g> Joan
