@ninapaley I love, love, loved my babies! I enjoyed them as toddlers, too. Then…they went to school, and ever so slowly, between peers & TV, parenting became more and more vexing & challenging. So…although I love my children very much, I highly commend any young people who prefer sticking with dogs, cats or other animal companions.

I don’t even want to imagine what parenting is like now, with smart phones & such. More & more I feel that many people regard children as an item to be checked off on their to-do list; cute little things to dress up.

I, too, respect both Harrington & Peterson, but don’t agree on this one. I think we have plenty of humans, and all too many have no homes & not enough food. As for the point that there will be fewer people to take care of the oldies - well, that “care”, (with the exception of a few cultures) has always been dicey.

There is nothing “enviable” about you.

“It was fun triggering you”. If this is your idea of “fun”, Spinster is not the place for you.

I don’t vote considering only one issue. I’m really ANGRY @ Dems / “Progressives” for being bought by Big Pharma in order to promote Gender Ideology. I can’t blame anyone for wanting them to realize, by losing elections, that they’ve done the wrong thing by promoting it.

But… I’m on Social Security & a HUD grant. I can’t afford to vote for the party that wants to dismantle whatever is left of the “social safety net”. For example, I might not get my monthly benefit this next month because of Republicans in Congress holding up the Federal budget, and I won’t be alone in being put at risk. It’s scary.

Also, I care about our environment & the Dems are slightly better at preserving what’s left of our public lands & endangered species. Republicans have been bought by Big Oil, so it’s “drill, baby, drill”, no matter what.

I also consider Conservatives / Republicans to be unreliable allies, especially in terms of women’s interests. I do appreciate some of them speaking out against Gender Ideology, but I believe they are actually more against homosexuality than “trans”, because “gender” is the same as “sex” to them. Most hate same-sex marriage. As the profits from hormones & surgeries continue to rise, I think they will move toward the “trans the gay away” camp.

As in the past, I feel “politically homeless” & lack enthusiasm for most candidates.
