“Give men power and almost all will misuse it,” people have said down through history. They will use the power to do two things; create even more power for themselves and secondly, to hurt most everyone else. I don’t see that much has changed.
For the last ten years or so I’ve heard the following statement from the women in favor of big government on the TV program ‘To The Contrary,’ “Just because you HAVE children, doesn’t mean you’re RESPONSIBLE FOR RAISING them! From the age of two years the government should do it.” The women are CEOs, Senators, and Representatives. They also say they have run surveys and found that the public does not like certain words and phases including the one I cited.“We don’t use those words any longer!” then they laugh and add, “But we keep the policy and CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE! Ha ha ha.”
Let me ask you; wouldn’t you say these women, who pay lobbyists to write laws or actually write them themselves, spend the associated money are powerful?
I write my books to support and encourage parents who assume the responsibility of the most difficult job on earth.  nancymauerman.com
