"supposed to" - so what?
Women originally weren't "supposed to" vote. Lots of things that once were "supposed to" be- aren't any more. And of course you have to ask- WHO SAYS "supposed to"? Every group has a different take on supposed to.

I probably wouldn't like the way you think things are "supposed to" be. You definitely wouldn't like the way I think things are "supposed to" be- only I wouldn't use a stupid construct like "supposed to"- I would probably say, "I would prefer..." or "the way I would like things to be" or "the way that I think might bring the greatest good to the greatest number." Of course MY ways don't RING of moral superiority as if God on high had made a pronouncement. That's why people like to use "SUPPOSED TO" I suppose. There really isn't any supposed to about things (imo)- except on the relative level. Even interpreting the laws and statutes comes down to opinion. And we all know opinions are like anuses....

You know your name makes me think Loofah sponge, every time I look at it- so waht does it mean?
