Could it be many of our social ills are a result of having two working parents (partners, significant other, etc.) and nobody minding the home. 

Have we pursued happiness and caught plight?   We now have two jobs, two homes, two cars, a boat, a motorcycle and who is watching the two kids?  Are they are being raised by child care providers who make at or near minimum wage?  Are they taught by teachers not making much more than minimum wage?

Did we loose the generational link to our past by placing our parents in a “home” where they can be cared for without interrupting our routine and pleasure?

Are we now surprised by the behavior of our children?   Opps, it is our neighbors children?  Why would they be confused of their roles, responsibilities, sexual orientation and what to order at Jack in the Box?  Was anyone home to guide and coach them?

Where were your parents?  Where are you?  Where are your children?

U.S. government: We know
parenting better than you (abridged)

Posted: July 24, 2008 12:00 am Eastern

By Chelsea Schilling (WorldNetDaily)

HR 2343 is sponsored by Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., and cosponsored by 55 Democrats and 11 Republicans. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that implementing the Education Begins at Home Act would cost taxpayers $190 million for state home visiting, plus "such sums as may be necessary" for in-hospital parent education.

While the program may not be mandatory for low-income and military families, there is no wording in the Education Begins at Home Act requiring parental permission for treatment or ongoing care once the family is enrolled – a point that leads some to ask where parental rights end and the government takes over. Also, critics ask how agents of the government plan to acquire private medical and financial records to offer the home visiting program.

"There's no consent mentioned in the bill for any kind of screening – medical, health or developmental," Dr. Effrem said. "There are privacy concerns because when home visitors come into the home they assess everything about the family: Their financial situation, social situation, parenting practices, everything. All of that is put into a database."

"How free is someone who has been tagged as needing this program in the case of home visiting – like a military family or a poor family?" she asked. "How free are they to refuse? Even their refusal will be documented somewhere. There are plenty of instances where families have felt they can't refuse because they would lose benefits, be accused of not being good parents or potentially have their children taken away."

"Who decides how cultural tolerance is going to be manifested?" she asked. "There's some blather in the language of the bill about having cultural awareness of the differences in parenting practices, but it seems like that never applies to Christian parents."

Ron Paul will not be stopped and seeks to unite Americans at the Rally for the Republic to be held from August 31 to September 2 in Minneapolis amd will host a handful of events that will shake the political establishment. Everything will culminate on Tuesday with the official launch of the Campaign for Liberty.

The Campaign for Liberty will be the largest organization for peace, freedom, the Constitution, and sound money in American history. It will launch in grand fashion with lots of special guests and - if the early television and print inquiries we've received are any indication - plenty of media attention.

You and your family are invited to join Congressman Ron Paul and thousands of others in Minneapolis for these events and send a message to both major political parties.

Seems it is today, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREAD-HEAD.

'Perfect' man cheats on both wife and mistress

By ABBY
Universal Press Syndicate

Dear Abby:

I was the other woman for seven years, involved with a man I thought was perfect. His wife knew about me. It was never an issue until he fell in love with me. He began making promises and told me as soon as his wife got herself together he'd divorce her.

Two years became three, three became five. Finally I realized he'd never do what he promised, so I ended it. The problem is, he's my boss. He was my best friend, and I still had some hope. We see each other every day because of work, although I am considered an independent contractor.

A year after I called it quits he finally filed for divorce. A few months later he met this new woman. He says he loves her, but I still hurt.

Every day is another day of holding back my tears, another day to hide my pain.

Today I met a woman who is a member of a group I belong to. She mentioned she knows a man who would be "perfect" for me. She said they had dated a few times over the years. Abby, the number she gave me was his. While we were together he was seeing this other woman! I am devastated.

I am still in love with him. How can I make myself forget him when we still work together? Please advise. WEEPING in Chico, Calif.

Dear Weeping:

Forget him? People only learn from the mistakes they are willing to remember. Dry your tears and get out of that office now. As an "independent contractor" it's time to declare your independence. Finding a job with better benefits should be a breeze, considering that all you have to show for this one is heartache.

HELLO?  Anybody in there?

• If a person will cheat on their spouse, they will likely cheat on you!
• If a person will steal from someone else, they will probably steal from you!
• If a person will lie to anyone else, it could be they are lying to you.
• If someone has very few friends, find out why, there maybe a good reason. 

Observing other people’s behavior is a key to protecting yourself.  Don’t hang out with people who behave badly; you will become a victim of their poor  behavior choices, directly, by reputation or you begin to act like them.

I love to blog but hate that time goes so fast as I do.  You bloggers out there are to blame.  If you would keep you opinions to yourself, well then I just would not be distracted from my schedule. 

You are the reason for my failures!

You are the detractors of my success!

You cheat me of precious time needed to achieve my daily chores!

Shame on you!

Now, go mind your own business!
