“If mothers ruled the world, there would be no god-damned wars in the first place.”
So said Sally Field during her Emmy acceptance speech last night in Hollywood.
Let's see ... it is men who are violent, the wagers of war?
But what are we say to the countless children that suffer child abuse at the hands of women each year? Say of those mothers who rule the world of their young with violence?
What do we say of the leading democratic candidate for President, Hillary Clinton? A woman and a mother who voted to send young men and women to Iraq to die? A woman and mother who voted to kill the children of Iraqi mothers? A woman and mother who continues, to this very day, to defend that decision. A woman who has a stronger pro war stance than most of the other male democratic candidates?
Let's not forget our recent history, and the war waging woman and mother, Margaret Thatcher.
And what do we say to the countless loving men and fathers who, who along with countless good women and mothers, work each and everyday to create peace, and end war?
Enough of the false and empty cliches!
People who crave power, abuse power - and are regularly willing to sacrifice, with violence, anything and anybody, to achieve their ends.
Be they male or female, or any color under the sun!
