I've been spectacularly lame on mine lately--I think it may have something to do with the cold, grey, NE Ohio weather you mention.<BR/><BR/>Caught some of the Alito hearings on NPR today. I was yet again amazed to hear a bunch of priviledged white men speaking as though they were the best folks to make such decisions. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and make their arguments, of course, but this got me to thinking...<BR/><BR/>Shouldn't this be the ONE desicion where the men, in a rare display of deference for those who have historically held the power (considering women didn't get to vote on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or anything else for several hundred years), to just step aside and say, "You know what? We're just going to let you handle this one. You only get to vote on this if you're a woman. I may not like the decision you come to, but then I'll never be in the position to have to make the choice either."<BR/><BR/>I'll have to jot you an e-mail. This is getting long!joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572080835786182707noreply@blogger.com
