It was Michelle who has insisted on being personally insulted by the comment of a Vice President who, approx. seven years ago, suggested that a TV show glamourizing purposeful single-parenthood was not a good thing. I don't even remember his exact words, but the sting of them remain, even with people like Michelle. Michelle referred to "family values claptrap", which is sort of personal to me and my own family. I attempted then, to draw a picture of a mother who rejects "family values" as claptrap, which implies children come second or even third. When someone calls family values claptrap: "You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me-ee.......If you don't love it, leave it, and let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'...when you're runnin' down my way of life, you're walkin' on the fightin' side o' me." ahh...mucho gracious to that some-time scoundrel and country singer, Merle Haggard...(who incidently, completely blew off a concert appearance at our County fair several years ago. The grandstands were full for the evening appearance, and moi was there too. An announcer went to the mic and said, "ladies and gentleman, as we all know, Mr. Haggard as had his ups and downs. A few minutes ago he got upset because of an argument with his wife, and so he and his whole entourage jumped into his bus and headed south on I-5. Sorry, but there will be no show tonight.")
