Women, Divorce and Father's Day

My son told me about another male friend who was hit with a surprise body blow. His friend was sitting quietly when the wife and mother of his two small children told him she was not happy and wanted to move out.

My son said this conversation sounded like a replay of many conversations he had with other men.

It appears the wife, after filling in the box for marriage and kids, wants to move on. She is willing to destroy the family. Make the man move into a small apartment while paying alimony and child support. The man will have very low marketable skills to finding a new mate.

Why do women destroy families and lives with such insouciance?

I think women have too much power. She has the power given her by the State to take the children and collect child support and alimony. If the father does not pay she will get the State enforcers to collect. She has the power.

All relationships are about power. If the man had the power he would act the same way the woman acts. Her threats of leaving will make the man kowtow and try to be a good servant to keep his family. If the man had the power he would turn his wife into a good servant by threatening to take her kids and make her work to pay child support. The State does not protect all people equally. The State favors some over others with its power. And what power it has!

Power corrupts. I think many humans have a sadistic personality. They enjoy being cruel to other people. A sadistic spouse will take pleasure in watching the suffering of her spouse.

Wives who want to end the marriage will also try to get approval from her husband for a trial separation or some other experiment. He should say no. He should not approve because she can say he was part of the approval process.

He should say what he wants, and then tell her he does not own her. She can do as she wants, but the outcome is her choice.

When a husband who wants to keep the family together is threatened with divorce he will try to control the wife. He should be aware he cannot control another person. He can only control his attitude. His attitude and her actions are two different situations. His attempt to control the situation will only lead to frustration and failure, even violence. He should think about controlling his judgment, which is all he can control.

This divorce racket is important as it relates to the lambasting of fathers on Father's Day by President Obama who said, "Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father." I wonder if he would also say on Mother's Day, "Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a mother."

President Obama seems to have so much hate for his own father that he calls all fathers fools.

President Obama's chastised fathers once again, on Father's Day for not living up to their responsibility. Responsibility requires authority, which fathers do not have. The State and feminists are paranoid that men will abuse their authority.

Compare the President's Mother's Day speech , (and any other politician's) to that of his Father's Day speech. His Mother's Day speech is filled with praise for mothers, even those mothers who refuse to let their children's dad have a say in raising the kids. His Father's Day speech is a lecture about fathers' responsibilities.

Government Health Insurance Company

President Obama is proposing 'choice' in his new health plans. He says the government will compete with the private sector in providing consumers with another choice.

I wonder if the president would be in favor of the private sector competing with government institutions, such as the Post Office, and allow FedEx and UPS to deliver letters to our mail boxes?

The government run health insurance company will have an unfair advantage. It will not pay property taxes like a private company and it will not have other expenses private companies have. It will be like the government schools competing with the private schools. If you use a private health provider you will still have to pay for the government company.

In the future you will, like your kids assigned to a government school and government teachers, be assigned a government hospital and government doctors and nurses. Like the teachers, the doctors and nurses will have long vacations and short days and retirement at age 55, with a cost of living raise in their pension.

Few will be able to change the health system of the future, like a few cannot change the current education system, and most will be happy to have their government doctors assigned to them, like they are satisfied with the government assigned schools and teachers. Just one less decision in a complex life of sheep.

Father no longer knows best. It now is some obese nanny bureaucrat that knows best.

When everything is provided for everyone then no one will want to work. That's when we will hear the old Russian propaganda songs with lyrics such as, "Work, work, work. I'm happy when I work" or this, "...we are working for the future happiness of our Motherland..."--Workers' revolutionary song, Lyrics: F. Shkulevs, all will be song by some smiling chorus line trying to get the sheep to work, or by some celebrity supporting big government.

The only thing that will save us is artificial intelligence that will make decisions without human emotions. It will decide that you get more work by rewarding work instead of plundering work. Some humans don't need artificial intelligence, they already know this.

The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. ~ Gustave Le Bon

Race, Gender and Cultures

In 1688 In Germantown, Pennsylvania, the city council of four white males signed the first anti-slavery resolution in America.

White males, the target of venom by everyone, even other white males, have made numerous contributions to the improvement of the living conditions of humans. They have invented life saving drugs, refrigeration, electricity, power steering, hydraulics, due process, and many more. One white male isolated insulin, a drug that has allowed Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a diabetic, to survive. I wonder what she thinks of that white male?

These contributions by white males are ignored in our politically correct, feminized world. Instead it is fashionable to attack the white male for all his past abuse and cruelty. Too many people find it easier to look outside for an excuse to a troubled life than to look inside.

These technologies, along with the birth control pill, invented by white males, have truly liberated women. A small woman can now carry out war a thousand miles from the battlefield by remotely flying a Predator aircraft. Because of hydraulics a small woman can operate heavy equipment. With cloning and artificial intelligence, the male will no longer be necessary.

I suspect if the Japanese had the technology in 1853 to sail to America and demand we trade with them, they would have done so. I also suspect if the American Indians had the technology to sail to Europe and confiscate European lands, they would have done so. It is not just the white male that is violent, it is a human trait.

Humans are the most violent of all the animals, always building a bigger tribe for defense against plunder, only to use it to plunder when their tribe gets big enough. The thirteen colonies were a small tribe that wanted to get bigger for defense. Look how many countries they have invaded during their history.

Why some cultures succeed is a matter of genetics and environment that allows one society to survive and prosper better than others. Equatorial societies did not have seasons. Most of those people never saw ice. Europe has more coastline and harbors than does Africa. Thomas Sowell writes about this in his "Conquests and Cultures".

I saw a bell curve of the male intelligence. It was flattened because it had morons on one side and geniuses on the other side. The bell curve for female intelligence is steeper with very few morons and fewer geniuses.

If you don't think all humans have the propensity for evil just try to imagine that only one race or one gender could vote. Do you think they would be fair? How about if only psychologists could vote. Do you think they would be fair, or would they force us all to get counseling? My point is no race or gender has a monopoly on vice or virtue.

Humans are the only animal that can produce its own food and shelter. It grows and increases the supply of food. A squirrel can only gather what is already produced. Humans can even desalt water, thus increasing the supply of drinkable water. Humans are also the only animal that has defined; morals, virtue, good, and evil. Humans also claim to be the only animal that is civilized and has a conscience.

Despite these wonderful and amazing abilities to provide for themselves, humans still resort to instinctive behavior of plunder and killing. They plunder through the election process, claiming this plunder by vote and force is justice. Plunder is simpler easier than producing.

These people, the legal plunders, fail to realize the best way to get more food produced and houses built is to reward the producers, not punish them.

And old woman on Social Security and Medicaid claims she can not produce. That's usually wrong. She can babysit or pet sit and earn enough to usually provide for herself, even if it is just to rent a room, or she could have saved in her working years. It is much easier to plunder than produce.

Since humans are the only animal that continues to plunder and kill when it is not necessary, why do they? Humans are the only animals that practice sadisim. And after they behave this way, why to they praise themselves as being the most noble, virtuous, and civilized of the animal species?

Will General Motors ever be profitable

In the lastest bankruptcy agreements the United Auto Workers took some reductions but gained ownership and some funding for their pensions. But, will GM ever be profitable again?

There is no need for GM to be profitable. The taxpayers will be GM's source of capital, not profits. Capital in a free market follows profits.

People look after their self interest. The UAW will have a member on the board. They will continue to look after their self interest, not the interest of the corporation.

The officers and the board are supposed to be the executors, the power of attorney, and the caretaker of the corporation, which cannot speak for itself. The corporation is like a handicapped person that needs care. The officers are also looking out for their self interest, which often comes before the care of the corporation.

The government will certainly look out for its 60% interest instead of the corporation. President Obama and the Democratic Party will also look out for their political careers. It is ludicrous to suggest the government will not be involved in the management of the new GM. The government has already fired one CEO and repositioned the creditors below others in a bankruptcy, the same bankruptcy laws the government wrote. The government has said certain cars must be made in the U.S. No free trade will exist and the customer, the forgotten man, will be hurt. The government operates only on power and force. It will offer tax credits to any customer who purchases one of their GM "Green" products. With the force and power of the government, GM will show a profit. It will have to for President Obama's reelection and his legacy.

The 100 billion allotted to GM from Canada, Germany and the U.S. equals $200,000 each for 500,000 active and retired GM employees.

GM was "too big to fail"? Not true then, and certainly not true now.
