"Birkenstock Burkeans" my rear end. PJ O'Rourke had a more accurate sobriquet. "Birkenstock Bolsheviks."

Amen.
My mom worked full time while my father was minister of small churches earning less than 2000 bucks a year. It was not until we were grown that she was able to stay home. Her job meant we were able to wear shoes and eat meat.
Like the man said, people do lots of different things to preserve the family.

And that's a big part of what cheeses me off about the crunchies. They act like people chuck their kids in junked-out daycare centers and send both parents to work solely to buy the sports car instead of the mere Dodge Neon. Both parents work in most families these days. It's the difference between affording free-range, holier-than-thou, Crunchy Con chicken tenders and a 500 calorie a day diet of Ramen Pride.
