Women Rule?
1/23/06
On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, as our our fundamentalist fearfuls attempt to take away a women's reign over her own body, 2 nations have elected women to be presidents, Liberia & Chile. After years of war and economic corruption, they promise to use maternal skills to right the wrongs their countries have suffered. It will be fascinating to watch how differently they rule, if at all. Will they put more resources into services and "nurturing" citizens than men who traditionally spend more on war toys and incarcerating the bad kids? How will other leaders take to these mothers who may or may not play by the same rules as the good old boys? Can we, in this nation of white middle age male politicos learn from our African and South American sisters?
