Good Mornin' Darlin'Texan!

You're right... you would never drink alcohol... not this early in the morning!

Just so you know... Our turkeys taste better than the ones in Michigan! (Heh-heh-heh... but they got the Nuge!)

Dan... Are you an UPer? My first base was at KI Sawyer, Marquette, Michigan. Loved the place.

If you're ever in Wisconsin I'll show you some nice places to hunt grouse.

I can't add any more than was said here about feminism.

I must tell you though that my initial reaction over the years has been one of bemusement. I eventually became cynical as I watched the NOW gang become more liberal in their thinking, and their actions. I believe they doomed themselves to the ash heap of history when they continued to defend Clinton, and all the garbage he did to women.

Feminism started off in the 60's (My impressions now...) to promote equal pay for equal work. Sounds good, and I think most people would agree with that idea. But when they started going into reproductive rights they lost me forever.

We don't have the right to say we have total control over our bodies. (If we did then we would never be sick... we would never die.) To decide to terminate life inside the womb should come from God, not from man. I know its a theological argument, but I sure feel as though the feminist movement did more to perpetuate that type of thinking more than any other group in the United States.

How many millions of abortions later, and I am sure the group feels very proud of their accomplishment. (I am speaking of NOW, or NAG...) A sad piece of history that has thwarted the sanctity of life for convenience. yes... yes... I know... there are exceptions... and I agree...but in many ways the pro-choice decision is one of selfishness. It pits the rights of the woman above all, even above the laws of God.

With the advent of conservative Feminists groups it is clear that the NOW gang has lost much of its steam. They have destroyed whatever credibility they might have achieved, and are now going to be left by the wayside as a corrupt group.

Men and women will always be different. There is no denying that fact. But then that should be celebrated, not scorned.

I hope this helps!

Nope. I'm a "troll", not a yooper. I've been to St Ignace, the Soo, and Tahquanomen Falls before up there.

You're going to have to back up that comment....which means I need to get a turkey there.

Thanks. I may take you up on that offer sometime if I'm out that way.

Your opinion always helps!

I agree with you completely about NOW defending Clinton. They looked like absolutely hypocritical idiots.

I also agree with you about "reproductive rights" (which is a misnomer). All that does is give women the idea that they cannot have children and be equal with men. Why? Men have children. No one suggests that men should give up their "reproductive rights".

That's only more degrading!
