How Dutch women got to be the happiest in the world - World - Macleans.ca
The feminists are upset because Dutch women are CHOOSING to not act like competative men in the workplace but are CHOOSING to focus on those things that make them happy. I thought feminisim was all about giving women choices. Guess not.
Truthfull, I have never bought the line tha feminists just want women to have choices. They want them to leave all things feminine (child bearing, nursing, homemaking) and act like men.

China's policy is what comes to my mind everytime I hear one of the chicken-little "the world is too populated" speeches. Make no mistake, many of these people hate babies enough they don't care about choice or personal rights but would gladly take my little ones out and shoot them if they could.

‘Deselecting’ our children - The Globe and Mail
‘Deselecting’ our children - The Globe and Mail
YOu know a better way to get rid of all Downs Syndrome would be to just kill them after they are born. After all, the tests aren't always right either way, with both false positives and negatives. If we just wait until they are born to kill them we will be sure to only get the right ones.
If that thought disturbs you, so should aborting a baby because it's not perfect.
Honestly, I don't even get the tests anymore. If there is something "wrong" with my baby, I will love him and raise him anyway. Honestly, since I seem to only be able to birth human beings, all my babies have flaws, so what if this one isn't as smart or pretty? He would be better than the others in other ways.
If we continue to make it ok to kill a baby because he has Down's, how long before we kill anyone who isn't perfect due to a car acceident, illness, or some other cause?
Once we start playing God, we are in very dangerous teritory.

Overpopulation scruples
Domestic Felicity: Overpopulation scruples
If you believe in evolution and in living a natural life, you can't possible use birth control. there is nothing natural about it.
If you believe in creation and thus God, using birth control for the sake of the population is a severe condimnation of God and His love and knowledge.
The most populated cities and countries in the world (most people per square mile) are not necessarily the poorest. The poorest cities and countries are the most socialist, not the most populated.
Babies aren't the problem. Politicians are.

Drunkenness is a sin. But everyone who drinks doesn't drink until drunk. We need to get these concepts clear.

"If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, they spend $75,000 a year, & have $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget & debt, reduced to a level that we can understand." ~Dave Ramsey (Yikes!)

Repulsed by raw: FDA, CDC lies about unpasteurized milk
Repulsed by raw: FDA, CDC lies about unpasteurized milk
Can't wait unti I can go back to raw! Where is my calf?
(Selling raw is illegal in our state so our only legal options are a two hour car drive and exorbitant prices across the border or milk our own cow who, at the moment, seems determined not to share her calf by actually birthing it)

This week on the farm
We started the week with the discovery of why the swamp cooler hose suddenly keeps getting leaks. George has been chewing on it.
He managed to chew it completly in half. So we have had to add water with a hose all week. Thankfully it has been a few degrees cooler this week than last week.
Then two of the rabbits got out. Still don't know how they did it. They are ones heading for the butcher. Jim caught them ok and we made an interesting discovery. These are genteler than past "bunnies" have been. Our Pure Red Satin Buck died last year so we bought his grandson off of the young man who does our butchering for us. This young buck is an escape artist, which is the only reason he was still alive for us (We traded a doe for butchering services who our friend bred to some other buck. This buck got out of the pen on butcher day for his litter mates and so survived.) Past bunnies would have fought much harder than these two did. Once they were in hand, these little bucks just quieted down.
So, Red Satins are beautiful but high strung and harder to handle. This fits with my memory of French Lops (a gentle breed) that I raised as a child.
We have had three broody hens. This week two of the eggs hatched, so we now have two fluffy chicks :-)
From the color of one of the chicks, one hen laid the egg (The Plymouth Rock or the Lace Wing Wyndott), another brooded them (Buff Orpington), and a third is raising them (another Buff Orpington). Hillary was wrong; it doesn't take a village to raise a child. It takes a village to raise a chicken!
Actually, the broody hen is now mothering them too. So those two poor chicks have two mothers bossing them around.
The cow is overdue to calve. With this heat and my sympathy for how she feels we have been letting her graze in the main yard every day. This way she can go to the coolest part of the property when the heat gets too bad. It also means she is decimating our hay stack.
After supper Tuesday a neighbor came into our yard and informed us our cow had just strolled past his house. We hadn't got around to shutting the gate after Hubby got home or to putting her back in her pen. She hasn't been acting the least bit interested in doing anything but eating hay or visiting with the rabbits (the cool spot). Who knew she would suddenly get an adventurous streak?
She made it almost to the end of the block. The children walked down and headed her off. She just turned around and went back home. Almost trotted. Goofy cow.
We can't wait for her to calve. We are really missing the milk, butter and yogurt. We also really don't like this buying both hay and milk! Gets expensive!
Joy, however, has informed me I am not allowed to milk until after Baby is born. As you can see in the picture, Rosie is a short cow with a broken (low hanging) udder. I am afraid I can't get down that low without help and getting back up after milking would be nearly impossible. Plus, though Rosie is the gentlest cow I have ever met, she is large livestock. If she were to be startled for some reason, I couldn't possible move fast enough to get out of the way.
So the kids will be doing the milking for a while:-(
That is, if she ever actually calves.
She was due July 27.
Yeah, yeah, I know. "A due date is not an experation date. It means baby can come two weeks either direction."
It's still hard to wait :-P

I understand that you have called Tea Partiers "Hobbits." Maybe you should actually read the books or at least watch the movies.
Hobbits are a peace loving, governmentless group of farmers who want nothing more than to be left alone to live their lives without interference from anyone. Four of them take on an epic journey, fighting the forces of evil and tyranny (dare I say the forces of Big Government?) .
They are the heros. They are the brave. They are the self sacraficing ones who stand up for what is right at risk to life and limb, no matter what.
So on behalf of all Tea Partiers in America...
I thank you Sen McCain.
I hope we continue to live up to the name you have given us.
