Get Your Head Out of the Hole It's In

I like Sally Field. I always have. I grew up watching reruns of her as The Flying Nun. I've seen the movie Her portrayal as a schitzophrenic in Sybil is nothing less than amazing! Oh! and I've nearly worn out my VHS of Steel Magnolias. I like all of her work. I think she's a talented actress.

BUT...

this comment just really makes her look STUPID! "Ms. Field used an expletive in saying that if mothers ruled the world, there would be no wars." I'd like to remind her, and all of those who agree with her, that there are women in the Middle East who have handed their children over to be strapped with bombs. And don't try giving me that bleeding heart dumb assed bull that they have no choice in the matter. If you truly believe that all of them are coerced, and I must be blunt here, you're a dumb ass.

I'm sure that there are women who have their children stolen from them, but don't think for one holier than thou second that there aren't large numbes of women out there who believe as the men who flew airplanes into the twin towers. These women believe that they and their children will reap rewards from allah for turning their children into bombs. They teach them to hate. They teach them to kill infidels. HELLO?

And it isn't just women in the Middle East. There are women all over the world who teach their children to hate and kill for various reason. War will always happen, and mothers have just as much to do with it as fathers.

And when you come right down to it, even those of us who do not teach our children to "murder" teach them that it's okay to kill to defend your country or in self-defense.

It's called reality. Welcome to.

And Barry Manillow...you all know how I feel about Barry. I don't care if he is a queen. I like his music. But to refuse to be interviewed by someone because their politcal beliefs are different than your own??? There is only one reason for that, he can't hold his own when it comes to politics. What? He wants to be surrounded by yes men all the time? He can't handle someone disagreeing with his beliefs? Is he that insecure by his beliefs that he can't handle answering a few questions from someone?

Grow up and get your head out your arse. If you aren't capable of discussing your political ideas with other people, then you should keep your mouth shut about your political ideas in the first place.
