I agree with you. I also agree with mph - it is a matter of choice, which it should be. I brought this up as a simple observation. I was fortunate to stay at home and raise my children, who do not look down on me for choosing this rather than getting a job. I was also able to help my husband considerably - another aspect no one considers when looking at the employment issue. No woman should be denigrated for staying home to raise her children nor for getting a job.

FWIW, folks on the allegedly "moderate" thread see us as.... "a fascinating laboratory of nonmoderate ideologues, distortions, lame "arguments"".... ...."each side distorts facts and points of view, then jumps on the other for doing exactly the same thing while proclaiming their own virtue and insight into TRUTH. All discussions disintegrate into hardened, head-banging pissing matches.".... ...."A perfect reflection of so much hatred and intolerance that permeates American society today.".... Message 19577055 ....""nothing in real life is as bad as SI (well, Klan rallies are probably that bad.... ...."Don't judge America by the Americans on SI. That would be like judging Americans by the Jerry Springer Show- sure there are some freaks in America, but not everyone is.".... Message 19577269 ...."What I read on that thread is very typical of what I heard around Texas during my recent visit.".... Message 19577465 ...."I say we ditch Middle America, if that's what they are like. Yech".... Message 19577706 ...."If you "ditch" middle America then we will have not just a few years but a few decades of Shrub clones in power.".... "Looking at this thread, consider how we finally reached a point where we could agree to disagree with folks who don't particularly share our views, yet still have good discussions.".... Message 19577802 Yup & those guys are perfect, unbiased moderates who never utter a bad word & have intelligent "discussions", all based in fact & reality........ ROTFLMAO!
