Response to a few posts

Will try to be brief here, getting back in the groove after being away and really enjoyed the posts. So to respond to a few:

1). "Babies" Haven't seen it but I have been wanting to for quite a while, I will make the effort to now, it does seem that the natural maternal instinct is the stronger of the 2 parental instincts and the relationship with the child is usually stronger w/the mother since its a special relationship, not that the fathers don't have a strong bond but this seems to usually be the case. I agree that the luxury of a more "advanced" (I use that term cautiously) society like ours affords more of an ability for fathers to get more involved as the basics of survival are more readily taken care of, but who is to say that anything is lacking from how the less developed cultures raise their kids? A question for the ages there.

2). "Dressed to Distract" Great post! What can I say on this I think we covered it 2 weeks ago, I just remember Rudy Guiliani defending Sarah Palin at the '08 GOP convention asking "when has a man ever been asked that question" about her fitness for office with her family responsibilities, not to mention how much nonsense goes into the appearance factor.

3). Joe McGinnis trying to stalk the Palin's like some sickened paparazzi. It is pathetic in a sense but it's amazing to me how the "Palin-haters" do nothing but continue to fuel the fire of her mystery/fascination/fame/myth/aura whatever it is, so I love it! I think it's great he moved in and she built a huge fence and the Palin's get more and more book sales and TV gigs and paid speeches and on and on every time some angry detractor does something like this. It just astounds me that they haven't either collectively or individually figured out that if you want someone like a Palin to go away the best thing is to ignore them, not throw rocket fuel on the white hot embers. Somehow though, I don't think he'll be getting an invite over for a beer and a Mooseburger!
