[Prospero]

You have just described the real glass ceiling. For single women, it's becoming like attaining the speed of light. Or, better yet, Alice in Wonderland. You have to run as fast as you can to stay in the same place, work hard... some dependent of your debt-ridden Uncle Sam needs some ear medicine, at the emergency room.

Folks talk big about "The Family," you'll hear sometimes the supposedly "new" revelation that Congress spent a $ Trillion since 1965 in the "unconditional War on Poverty, and "Poverty" is now up a point or two over that time and the side effect has been the supplanting of the role of fathers in "the family unit."

Who talks about the nearlyabsolute destruction of the "Extended Family."

Single Women are perhaps the last refuge for Western Civilization.

My "stupid forum?" Well, here in NC, perhaps it's a tough call. I'll toss in BlueNC.

The war on poverty was always doomed to fail.

Jesus said the poor will always be with us.
