    It doesn’t take intelligence or knowledge to elect women to the top jobs. It just takes maturity.

    That does no good. Putting a woman in power didn’t prevent the U.K. from going to war in the Falklands. You have to select leaders by their I.Q., not their gender.

    When I was at university, the mantra was that if women were in power, there’d be no wars, everything would be lovely. Then Indira Gandhi took India to war with the Chinese, Thatcher took Britain to war with Argentina … etc. … made no difference. Still, we need more women in parliament, of whatever persuasion.

    At this time of year, I recall the story of the Christmas Truce of 1914 on the Western Front.

    Artillery was silenced and an unfamiliar quiet fell over the battlefield. Voices of the enemy could be heard muttering in the trenches. Suddenly, a song arose from the German side. “Stille Nacht.” The British counterattacked with “Silent Night.” This was followed by a volley of “Oh Tannenbaum” and “Oh Christmas Tree.”

    A figure was seen coming across no-man’s land. He bore not a rifle, nor even a flag of truce, but held aloft a small Christmas Tree.

    Then without order or orders, men from both sides came out of the trenches and met where their bullets only hours ago passed. They exchanged small gifts and showed pictures of the loved ones for whom they were fighting. God and King and the Kaiser were forgotten.

    These corporals and privates who could not even speak each other’s language succeeded where heads of state had failed.

    The miracle still happens today. I see it when I go with my wife, a nurse, to visit “her” refugee families. They come from the Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Burma, Nepal, Vietnam. The multitude of languages ranges from Swahili, to French, to Arabic to Amharic, to Bhutanese.

    They are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu.

    The children don’t care. There’s a soccer game going on and it doesn’t matter that there are seven different languages being spoken on the field.

    Perhaps we need to fire our world leaders and replace them with corporals and privates and children.

    I would have agreed with this cartoon if I weren’t so pissed at Collins and her fellow Republican female Senators, for selling out their constituents, with this tax cut for the rich and powerful.

    I’d hope she and her moderate colleagues had more courage than their male counter-parts but, obviously, I was wrong !

    Start voting with your dollars. Americans are pigs at the corporate trough. Buy from your neighbors, demand that ‘American’ companies are as patriotic as they advertise. No overseas tax dodges. You have that right, we gave them the tax cut they demanded. Now remember, what they got out of paying, we are going to be paying for them. again. Along with our grandkids.

    It really does seem that we are choosing candidates that are subpar. I don’t know many men who are “pussy grabbing” ignorant of the demands of the office of president, have never held a public office, ( I could continue to list Trump’s faults, but you get the point) If we had chosen a president by simply standing on the street in any town in America and taking the first person who walked by the odds are quite good that we’d have wound up with something better than we have now. We have abdicated the responsibility for choosing candidates to the two parties. The result was Trump, and a woman who is disliked by pretty much everyone who outside the beltway. There has just got to be a better way.

    We need to stop electing humans. I, for one, would welcome our new insect overlords.

    Come to think of it, I’m also vaguely remembering a bit in the Hitchhiker’s Guide series where the humanoid people of some planet always elect lizards. The lizards don’t work out very well, but the voters think that it’s still important to keep the wrong lizard from getting into power.

    In discussion of M vs F leadership, I am reminded of the Iroquois ‘Great Law’ in which all decisions made [today] must result in a sustainable world seven generations (about 140 years) in the future. The Iroquois Confederation also followed the ‘rule of six’ for conflict resolution, which stated that for every phenomenon you need to devise 6 plausible explanations — their way of making sure all aspects of an issue were explored before decisions were made. The Iroquois also maintained a Women’s Council which had veto power over such major actions as going to war and stopping war. The Iroquois seemed to recognize that what seems good for right now, may be bad in the long-run. And, possibly, they felt that the traditional woman’s role (as primary raisers of the next generation) made them more able to see this than men. Regardless, today it shouldn’t be so much a question of male vs female but who can help the COUNTRY best. What we need in government are people who can look at future consequences and make decisions on what is best ‘in the long run’. We need people who recognize that there are multiple viewpoints which should be considered before final decisions are made (how else can yo persuade people to your point of view if you don’t first listen to theirs?). We need people who don’t vote for or against something simply to thwart ‘the other side’ (particularly when they haven’t bothered to read the bill in the first place). We need to people who are willing to make unpopular decisions. We also need a public that recognizes that ‘me first’ isn’t the best long-term philosophy for an entire country.

    As has been true since the dawn of mankind, 90% of the world’s problems are caused by men, and the other 90% are caused by a man not understanding what a woman wants.

    Isn’t it interesting, how one bad woman gets many, if not all, bad men off the hook. ’See, she, er,they do it too. Yet a woman could be bet than all men, and yet still not be good enough.

    Eh we have had 2 female prime ministers here in Denmark, and while I think they did an above average job, electing them hasn’t made everything better.

    The solution isn’t to only elect women instead of men, it’s to elect someone who will be a good leader regardless of gender.

    Problem is of course determining who that person is.
