I've seen the results with other methods and it ain't pretty. Why do you think our prisons are over flowing.

Those who choose to have children have to make the children priority #1 and everything else second. In this day and age, with most of us reaching longer longevity, there is plenty of time to pursue other careers after the kids have grown up. And yes this applies to men too.

And one more thing while I'm at it seeing as how I'm going out on a long limb and sticking my foot in my mouth, I'm sick and tired of Right-Wing Christians who preach family values and the first thing the jettison is the kids to pursue secular careers.

There now that I've pi$$ed everyone off, I'm outta here!!

OK. One paragraph at a time (even though you won't read this 'cause you're outta here):

You make a good point, and one many conservative Christians will agree with. I find it a little odd, however, that people will use the Bible to affirm their political & social worldview, but somehow overlook or even reject the fundamental message of the Bible, that all humanity is broken (that puts you and me into the same category) and we need a redeemer.

All of us have differing capabilities in what we are able to pursue, while keeping our families as first priority. I cannot judge for you, or Palin, or O'bama, or anyone else. I can judge it only for me. Sometimes I don't measure up. By the grace of God, sometimes I do.

Let's let Sarah Palin and her husband decide whether they're jettisoning their kids. As for me, I think her kids will measure up just fine against most of the kids I see raised by permissive, left-wing parents, as well as most kids raised by country-club conservatives with a self-absorbed stay-at-home wife.

So that I don't miss your last paragraph, let it be known that you haven't pi$$ed me off. And bye-bye.

Hi Steve, I'm Baaaaaack. I went to an open house for a new Mom and her almost new baby, 4 1/2 months old.

I think the Bible makes some good points, I just don't think it is the absolute word of God or that I need a redeemer. I don't want to hijack the thread but I did want to clear this up.

You are right that her private life is her and her husband's business except she has chosen to run for Vice-President. I'm nervous with a Mom who has four children left at home with one having special disabilities that requires a full time Mom.

I read Dan Quayle's book of his Vice-President experiences with small children. It wasn't pretty and he was a Father not a Mother.

Here's my questions:

1. Is Dad going to give up working so he becomes the house husband?
2. If Dad doesn't quit his job, are they going to hire a professional nanny to care for the kids?
3. If non of the above, who will take care of the kids?
4. Who's going to take care of the DS child?

These questions need to be answered before I'm going to get too excited with the McCain/Palin ticket. My experience with working Mothers has not been good. I find working Mothers have poor job performance. The job performance of Vice-President and President has not been that good lately, the last thing we need is even worst performance due to a working Mother.
