Double - Standard

Since WWII, women have been able to dress as "men" or "women" with acceptance.

Should a male wear a skirt with heels, etc., he will most like be jeered at and beaten half-to-death or totally-to-death.

My guess is some archetypal memory from the days of tribes and villages ...... men were expected to be the warriors and protectors ...... where would we be if they were all running around in skirts and heels ..... who would defend us ???

The problem is the narrowness of the culturally defined norms ......... freedom of speech should include freedom of dress.

It Should Be Illegal For Lobbyists ....

To set their filthy feet on public property ....... let them do their bribing on private property.

The American people truly do get what they deserve ...... they are willfully ignorant of what is going on ...... I hate to say it but they just don't care.

The Fact That Bush ....

@Joan Walsh

The truth will set you free ....

Bush was a Christian too ........ God talked to him .... which was enough of a reason to put the sob in a straight jacket before the elections even began.

@ Joan "Even I Get Tired Of The Serious Stuff" Walsh

Well, then, how about this ???

Quote from Timothy3 ....

"Oh, my friends, this is why we authorized many years ago a CIA program that examines your browsing habits. It's been clear to us all--and for quite some time--that the typical American's online search for pornography is the source of all our Evils. Why else do those Talibanners--those sign-making fanatics--hate us and our, um, porn-loving, freedom-seeking, porn-loving ways?"
