This may sound a bit too much like rah, rah, rah!  Hip, hip hooray! or some such thing -

However, I believe some of the most advantageous moments comes out of depression, disbelief, and or, despair.  I think this is a time especially for women, to re-invent ourselves and do amazing things!  Why let a little thing like a majority of males in leadership prevent us from shining and springing forth with a new generation of entreprenaurs?

This is a NEW Generation!  A NEW Time!  A New Day! 

 

It is common knowledge that trauma such as this affects a persons memory and experience and is also predetermined by any early life trauma; such as sexual or physical abuses, mental or emotional abuses, or major accidents or other life-threatening experiences.

We are all subjected to some forms of trauma, in my opinion.  The degree to which we are traumatized also determines the degree of memory lapses, or malfuntions of detail memorization.  

I actually made a conscious effort, while watching a movie with such traumatic content, to remember the face and appearance of the perpetrator.  When it came right down to pulling up those memories, I could not do it.  My brain took in more details during the movie, which also affected the outcome of my memory.  Which in fact, clouded my memory of the perpetrator.  (strange…)

I think, in reality, if I had done this little test several days later I may have been more successful, provided I did not think about the matter during the lapsed period of time.  In other words, it may have made a difference in my memory recall if I did not feel tense, or subject to a kind of pass or fail test afterward.

The brain is such an amazing system!  I cannot imagine not being able to bring a recall up if my brain were it to be properly trained, to do so.  Perhaps there needs to be a method of searching for better recall from our bodies’ computer.  Verry Intrksting!

Gimme a break!  You all keep your talking points, like the talking heads feed you right from the bottle to pablum.

This is getting SO OLD!  The right continues to say the same thing over and over and over again, until it begins to sound like the truth.  And, so many of you actually believe it.

Aren’t you getting just a little bit dismayed by it all?  The spouting from the Repubs now, are the things they have been the most guilty of!  Now, they call it a Democrat thing so often it begins to sound real.  Well, wake up!  It is NOT about what or how the Dems have been in the past, or now… it is all about what the Repubs did while Bush was still around, and…

Now, they simply rename it as a Democrat mess, until they actually believe the lies they spiel as real truth.

And, YOU ALL are a part of the facade!  Duhhh!

ReaganOMICS was the problem during the 80’s it had nothing to do with Carter!  Carter was actually quite a good President, but simply because he was more mild mannered and would not get involved in all the in-fighting, people assumed he was weak.  His plan to rescue the soldiers from Iran was undermined, otherwise he would have been hailed as one of the best Presidents ever.

Reagan was NOT a good President, he was just a good ol’ boy in a suit, and was very likeable because he was an actor.  That is all.  His economic "trickle down" theory is built on the backs of the American People, and the CEO’s and corporate giants get to keep making the big bucks… this is why Republicans like the trickle down economic structure.  Their "good ol’ boy" friends who they are in bed with, give them plenty of goodies for doing their business, and keeping them in charge.  The recession did not happen until Mr. Reagan took us into it!  His ‘reaganomics’ was just another way of turning this country over to the corporations!

How do you suppose we got all these huge profiteers in the first place?  Duh!  and… Bush’s Blackwater Buddies changed their name to "Xe" pronounced zee, so they could fool the people and try to re-group their business.  It is all about CORPORATE COLLECTIVE CAPITALISM - not, simple capitalism.  It is about greed, power and abuse of power.

Smearing Obama does not for a socialist program make.  It isn’t about socialism, it is about saving this country!  Dumb! Dumber! Dumbist!  Socialized medicine is actually only a method of combining medical plans and businesses in order to make it more affordable for everyone.  It is NOT like our whole country is going to be under a dicatorship!  For God’s sake!  Stop with the lies and stretching of half truths to make your point… in any case, it is only a fear tactic played by the ‘right.’

 

 

I think it is something which is up to those of us who have been through it, to ensure those who follow will minimally, be aware of the women’s movement.  If we don’t let them know from our own experience they will only learn distortions of the truth, in my opinion.  So, let us get on with it.  Let the young women of today, know and learn there really is and has been a huge struggle for all of us.

Until it becomes just another day in time, when a woman is elected President of the U.S.A., and until it is never questioned that a woman has the right to choose, and determine why, and how her person is touched, and with her permission, who touches her, and when, there will continue to be a need to stand up for women’s rights, everywhere.

Leslie,

I just saw you on the "Morning Joe" show.  It tickled me that you mentioned the wowOwow, website.  I feel almost celebrity now, since I am an active participant, here.  Thanks   -  big grin.

Jane,

You do us all proud.  Thank you.

I find it is so much easier to give without expectation of getting paid back… then, I am not usually disappointed.  However, I have been surprised, when those to whom I have given (loaned), have actually tried to pay me back.

That’s the fun part!  People most often really do not disappoint us, if only we are able to entrust them with a little bit of ourselves.  I like to discover the people who actually do surprise me when I least expect it.

It is so good to have you back again, Jane!  Thanks for your wisdom and playfulness.  A great combination.

"Good grief, Charlie Brown!"

How timely it was for her to get stopped with a camera aboard the police car!  It is just unfortunate that she got into that pickle.  But, why did they have to add vinegar to the wound?  What a new age society we now have!  NOT!!! More like "1984" the Orwell book!!

There are probably more cameras out now, than there are people.  Everywhere we go, we are ALL on candid camera, police cameras, Hollywood cameras, cellphone cameras, and… the occasional person out shooting with their video camera while getting the little extra bang for their buck!  Perhaps a crime in process - a naked body by a pool, a streaker, a family feud, or God only knows what else.

So, everyday we leave the house, unless we have cameras inside as well, we will have to be aware we really ARE on candid, or otherwise, camera!

Good luck folks trying to maintain a low profile, anywhere!!!

Regardless of what Mr. Corker thinks, it is NOT alright to air his negative, slurs in public.  Excuse me… isn’t he a southerner?  And, don’tcha just betcha he knows exactly what the words mean?  And, I hope someone will nail him for it, as well.

If most of us are aware of the terminology, don’tcha just s’pose it is exactly how he intended the words to come out?

Jerk-0ff!

Rush has always been Rush Limburger to me.  He is a guy who makes millions knocking the people’s party.  He is so taken with himself it is nauseating. But he plays the role so well that the far right loves this guy. By Omie Means Grandmother on 03/03/2009 9:06 pm In all my years I have never witnessed so much vile coming from the far right, until these past 8 yrs! Did I land on another planet, somewhere else?  Do they just appear to be human, or are they in reality human, with some major disfigurement in their language, or memory, or intellect? Where did all this hatred come from?  I know GWB and company pulled some pretty horrific stunts, but… I never thought any of the people in America could or would, buy into all the deceit, corruption and lies - and, then… see it as truth! Now, there is an apparent avalanche of hatred spewing out of their mouths for the truth being confronted, finally! Omie, thank you for your words - so true, so true.

Are YOU for real????

God, forgive them for they know not what they do.

(or say, or think, or know, or don’t know) bless their pointed little heads!

It seems to me, the only ones who might have survived the government doing nothing, are the very wealthy who have money stashed away.

That was precisely the intent of D.C., from all I have read. To bankrupt America, so "they" could take over - as in Jihad, coup d’tat,  ’dictatorship’ - From everything I have seen or read, Cheney, and Rove were the masterminds behind the fall of our country visa vis the monetary systems and banks, et al.  … I watched as this nation has slowly been raped and depleted in so many ways for the past eight years.  There has been little I could do about it, except to vote THEM OUT!!  And, then… no one was certain if they were going to actually leave, or not. This is NOT a joke - it is VERY real, folks!  Now, the Republican party is trying to make it look like it is all about the new administration!  Damn, get a grip!

Where have you all been during this time?  Sleeping?

Maybe not, but at least Georgie didn’t cause that much monetary loss in his first 100 days. By Andrea Brandon on 03/03/2009 1:20 pm No! He was too $%^&* busy selling out OUR country! What is wrong with you people? Doesn’t it bother you at least a little bit, that China, Japan, India, Germany, France, and God only knows who all, are the primary OWNERS of America?  Thanks to YOUR president??

She is obviously a few steps behind the march toward mental health.  She has lost the cadence and routine of normalcy a long time ago.

What do you all believe is the definition of insanity?  It is not always a raving maniac who is out of control - sometimes it is simply someone who cannot make reasonable decisions and have objective ideas and thoughts on life, in general.  Not always comprehending what is right or wrong, does not  necessarily mean violent behavior.  There are shades of mental incapacity which could render her unstable in so many different ways.  Like’ living way beyond her means, living in a shabby place, living beyond her means, living in a way which is very unhealthy for her children.

Folks this woman is not all present, in the moment.  From what I have seen and heard, she is about to ship out to the ‘nether’ world.  What about all those children she is taking with her? 

And, a note for those who are so quick to defend her —- why don’t you feel that same sensibility about others?  Like" gays and lesbians?  Is it really ok for a woman to put her children in harms way?  As long as she is not gay or lesbian? Distorted values, or what?

Is that what is being written, here?

they are booted out, in big numbers, with their constituents letting them know that singing the same old song is no longer acceptable. Not to mention that they were way off-key in the first place.

Margo,

Besides all they screech as they attempt to sing, causes great tulmultuous waves to break through the air, which if brought down a decible or two, would most likely sound like a Zsnore. (Not a typo)  booorinnng

Thank you.  I am so happy you cleared this up for me.  I came in the middle of all the rantings about this ‘commedian’ RL - I actually thought it was true. Lol

NOT that he was ever funny, rather, his claim to fame is in the comedy business.  grin
