Yes,...Thank you for speaking to the greater issue. Yes, Boxer's comments to Rice were tacky and illogical, but Rice wasn't the only person being insulted that day.<BR/><BR/>As you pointed out, childlessness is not strictly a "women's issue". Anybody who's been through the infertility treatments and endless rounds of paperwork for adoption knows the pain of a 'child not there' regardless if they are male or female. <BR/><BR/>I've even had friends, with children, speak of 'the one not here yet'. Although all there children are present, they still <I>feel</I> that one is missing. <BR/><BR/>And therein lies Boxer's error ... Rather than speak about policy - that wasn't only her right to do, but her responsibility - she chose to lecture on "feelings" and still got it wrong. <BR/><BR/>Maybe Senator Boxer would benefit from a discussion with Senator Clinton - who claims "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child". Does Boxer honestly think that only people with children are Boy and Girl Scout leaders, camp counselors, drama class instructors, etc, etc, etc.? Or does she think the childless people in those positions aren't human enough to care for those they lead? <BR/><BR/>One final note - thank you for your story about your great-uncle and great-aunt. I am also a great aunt and childless not by choice. If I have even one of my crowd of nephews/nieces and/or their offspring say something half that nice, I will consider my life well lived.OhioAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09719352684331738275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543355.post-1168789111590849482007-01-14T10:38:00.000-05:002007-01-14T10:38:00.000-05:00And sometimes... perhaps... they choose to get the...And sometimes... perhaps... they choose to get the hell away from their screeching uber-lib whack completey undiagnosed mentally diseased mothers.

They CHOOSE to go into the service. They honorably CHOOSE to be part of America's battles.<BR/><BR/>Yet somehow, Babs and company have portrayed them as stupid, wayward puppies who really didn't want to do what they did, so they need Babs' own special form of protection. (And one wonders with John F. Ketchup(kerry)) gets his jokes from. Apparently it's a California thing.)<BR/><BR/>I can think of no bigger insult to someone in our Armed Services than to have to spend the rest of their service days living inside Babs' poisonous embrace. God Help Them.<BR/><BR/>And as to the "Bush's Daughter" comment, it smacks of the same brainrot as the rest of the discussion.<BR/><BR/>If the Bush daughters DO NOT WANT TO JOIN THE SERVICE, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO. It's an all volunteer force -- remember? They don't HAVE to do anything.tckurdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930939514863449592noreply@blogger.com
