What happened to Larry Summers is a travesty. I am a woman and agree with the comments that got him into trouble. I don't know when this kind of thing is gong to end, but it's got to at some point. There are just certain groups of people in this country one cannot offend, however slightly.

I have been saying for years now that "Political Science is Junk Science."

All the Junk Science I'm aware of is certainly political; feminism, enviromentalism, and scores of other things of a like nature.

Problem is Junk science is being employed for junk legislation and court decisions.

My old pappy, God rest his soul these past many decades, told me during WWII that the worst mistake we ever made was giving women the vote. I thought he was way off the beam then, because I was young and inexperienced. Now I know my old pappy was right.

The women's vote brought us Prohibition and the decay of our law and respect for it. It brought us women legislators, and God forbid, the possibility of someone like Hillary to grabbing the golden ring of the presidency.

Afterall, it was the women's vote and much, much more that brought Christine Gregoire into theWashingrton State governor's chair, Patty Murray and Late Count Maria Cantwell to the other Washington, and a legislature full of feminists and feminized men, or whatever flags they run under.

So, my old pappy was right: listen to yours
