..regarding women's rights. If the traditional values are the best, then I believe we will work our way toward to a modern rendition of them. The idea that traditional values conflict with womens rights to do things like vote, work, own property, not be beaten, and the other things discussed is not an idea of mine. Just to repeat. The two things don't have anything to do with one another. ----------------------------- So now we are down to traditional morality being a protection for the poor, since the wealthier have safety nets when they use bad judgment. I don't want to limit the benefits of traditional morality by saying its only a protection for the poor. Traditional morality is more vitally important for the poor, but it protects everybody. It would have protected Bill Clinton, his family and the nation from the Monica/impeachment mess, for example. Would have kept Skilling and Lay and Fastow out of prison. Would make our divorce rate a lot lower. On and on and on. --------------------------------- ...some form of work program.. ...Welfare rolls have plummeted. More single mothers are working.
