sorry but our matriarchal society wouldnt be dealing in histrionics or historical injustices - we would be looking at these things initially on face value with the objective of defusing the situation - not escalating it
we have only one earth - whay cant we 'all' enjoy it instead of arguing about who owns what or any part of its material wealth
Thats what Im trying to get at Tracy, I just dont know if this Earth can survive much more. Matriarchal societies have recurred throughout history and maybe its time for another resurgence - actually, its been going on for some time now, this resurgence
I dont think its about gender either Silki all I am trying to get to the bottom of is whether or not women would be better rulers given the current situation of the world and the imminent prospect of mutual annihilation
ah, dear maggie - firs she emasculated her husband..............then she tried for our nation - I thought it quite ironic that the prison guards tried to go on strike last week and couldnt cos it had been deemed illegal - she should have left the unions alone, leave the people their pride at least
yep - but it has to start somewhere - be had to pit up with years of maggie thatcher - but we learned how not to do it from her so we have a good advantage there - besides, what could be worse than how things are currently panning out
stereotyping wont work - I for one dont have to suffer the monthlies and another would be that we wouldnt be so blinded by power that we couldnt hand over the reigns for a day or two to our 2nd in command
well, its all I can think of - seems to me theres excess testosterone on the loose in the world of politics, what with all these wars n stuff - maybe if all the presidents and prime ministers etc were women...............
Oh, you know, I feel so bad calling America here as there are so very many lovely people in your country - its just that somehow the politicians dont do you all too much justice - hopefully next time you all get a chance to vote you will choose more wisely - I really dont know how you ended up with Bush again (though I do have my theories haha)
As you say, a little more attention to domestic policy, i.e. petrol consumption, alternative energies etc. may just help to make a difference
All the Governments are simply propaganda machines with the media as their chief weapons - nothing stirs up the populace more effectively than a supposed threat to the sons and daughters of any given nation - I reitterate - we are the pawns - and my kids aint ever gonna go play their war games
Those people in Iran are as much against their leader as any of you - he is a dictator - lets not blame the people - please - they need help to get rid of him but dont condemn the whole nation because of a despotic leader - this is 2007, have we learned nothing
No, Im simply saying that the way that governments work is always for the pay off - I dont want to be arguing with anybody but the specific example I used is totally documented and was designed to help the US to keep their exports to Britain healthy - its just the way politicians do things - we are all just the pawns in their games
At the end of WW2, the Marshall Plan, where America loaned money to Britain, was to aid the US economy in the form of exports which had stopped because we were all spent up - whatever money America extends to any other nation is not done in the spirit of altruism - dont be fooled
argh - you have reminded me - i have to start catching the 8 o'clock bus soon which is a double decker but is also full to overflowing with schoolchildren - haha, i feel like i have done a full day by the time i get off
keep em coming cos they make me chuckle - you had the boozers off to a T the other day, so reminded me of stockport town centre on a saturday afternoon
dont know where any of the others are today - busier than you n me thats fr sure
Would A Matriarchal Sociey Make A difference Right Now
I love your poems - I really do but in this case, a womans gotta do what a womans gotta do - cos the whole earth is at stake
