It's a Woman's Thing by Chelle Stockman

How's the value of your property these days?   Happy with the cost of a gallon of Diesel?  How about the cost of Gasoline?  How's the price of your energy bills coming along?  Happy about the War in Iraq at the expense of Afghanistan?  For those of you who have stocks and bonds, how's your earnings this past quarter? Know anyone out of work, layed off or closing their business?  Are you happy for them?  You happy about the quality of health care your loved ones and yourself are recieving and are you content with your copay costs on medical, dental, and your vision care?  Know anyone who doesn't have insurance for the above mentioned items? 

I say, what a mess.  This mom knows a mess when she sees one and this is as though the house is coming down around the entire family.  So what do mothers do at times like this?  We organize and get a team going and tackle the mess.  Then we make a plan so that it never gets in such a disorder ever again.  Mom's don't like repeating mistakes and repetitious cleaning of messes, but if you ever had a son, you know better than most that cleaning up his messes is a constant.

Government functions much like a home; it can be well run or totally out of order, or everything in between. Mom's are the glue that generally holds it all together, no matter how disfunctional or functional it may be.  Of course, this isn't always the case, but in far more cases it has always been a truism, even in today's world with the attempt at role reversal.

Children are taught in school that typically, men are the hunters and women are the gatherers.  Men have to find the one meat source, the one weakness of an intruder, and other such things that require strict focus on that one important matter.  Women had to be able to look at all things simultaneously in order to manage their time which was spent gathering leaves to keep the surroundings smelling fresh, to mask scent from being detected by an unwanted invader, spices and herbs to heal the men who, through their aggressive tactics were always suffering from one wound or another and in both cases, men and women, there is so much more to the hunter/gatherer hypothesis.

Now we have the brain science to back up the natural born tendencies of males and females.    You can see all the findings and sources of said proofs in the following link or http.  http://www.cerebromente.org.br/n11/mente/eisntein/cerebro-homens.html

You know, it's been the men that have brought us to this point in time, of course with women at their side for support of all kinds (prostitutes, even).  But right now, we are in such a mess, it's time for women to rise and clean up the mess.  It's one of the things we are fabulous at, that and multi-tasking.  Give a man more than a few heavy duty chores and they are lost.  They do the things they prefer to do most, first; then all other things get quick fixes and or tossed to the side out of their way so they don't have to see them.  Women on the other hand are able to do it all and almost at the same time.  Of course, just as men work best with women watching their back, so it is with women.  A woman soars as long as the men in her circle are supportive.  Women are much better communicators because they can listen while delegating.  They are naturals at reading body language.  Why?  Its a brain thing.  It has very little to do with education and a great deal to do with the physiological design of the brain.  Men have specialized brains while women have diverse brains.  Men tend to think and process out of the left side of their brain while women can use both sides of their brain simultaneously.

For that reason,  I'm asking you all to consider the problems this nation is facing and consider voting the woman in as our President to lead us through these problems, not only for immediate solutions, but also for long term solutions.  I certainly look forward to us all working with one another.  I'm truly looking forward to the day when women stop viewing themselves through a man's eyes and do as the Lakota suggest in their prophecy.  Until women use their power, all is lost.

I'm going to say one more thing that so few are too yellow-bellied to say.  You take the color of Obama off of him and all you have is another man. 

Time for a woman. 

Just be glad I haven't said to you what President Bush has said so many times; "Either you are for us or against us."  Hmmm. Odd how that rings true when it is true.

That's all for now.
