Interesting point in this week’s Ask Marilyn column:

By 1950, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 34 percent of women (and 86 percent of men) were employed.

Another interesting point: In 87 percent of families, both a husband and a wife were present; in those families, 20 percent of the wives were employed.

Amost all the problems go from "oh don’t worry about it " to " it’s to late to do anything" so there is never a point to act.

from the illigal alien problem to the nucleur Iran problem to the housing fannie may problem etc. etc. etc.

It seems to be by design!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still can’t figure out why we write checks for billions to the terrorist. I thought they were who we were fighting. I love the USA and I think we are idiots. Can you imagine what the ones that hate us think while they are cashing our checks. We borrowed the money from communist China for Gods sake!!!!
