I prefer swimming holes, brooks and creeks.....

I don't know how many times I have driven through road construction sites and have seen husky, burly men working on the roads with women right alongside them, and "Men At Work"  signs next to the road and have never thought anything of it.

As a woman, the actual sign is the last thing I could care less about. 

The important thing is that I give both the men and the women credit for doing the hot, and dangerous work out on the roads.

But here we go, we have to have Atlanta-based PINK magazine editor, Cynthia Good make a PINK stink over the fact that the signs only say "MEN" at work.

Who the hell cares?

She allegedly goes out and paints a "WO" in front of the MEN.

Now in Atlanta the signs are being replaced with "Workers Ahead."

"We're calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination," said Good, 48.

Don't we have better things to do with our tax money ? 

Like repair our roads?

It’s one thing to want to have children and look your best, eat healthy, be as fit as you can, and be happy. What woman wouldn’t want that?  That can only make you a better parent.

Lately, there seems to be too much attention given to the fad of “hot moms,” “hot mamas,” “sexy mamas,” you name it. 

O.K.  you want to go out with dad, and dress up and look sexy…nothing wrong with that.

But do you need to look like a “hot mom” when you are going to the PTO meeting, too?

When you are sitting with your 12-year old son at a teacher’s conference, is that how you want to portray yourself?

Or would you want your child wearing a t-shirt at the meeting that said my mom is hot?  Do mom's really buy this stuff for their kids to wear?

I’m just wondering.

I don’t get it.

Perhaps it stems from Hollywood celebrities who are having children.

It’s one thing to feel good about yourself, or to want to make your husband proud to be with you, and especially to be proud of yourself, but it’s another to make your children embarrassed to walk with you.

 I find a music video where a child is telling their mom that she’s a “hot mom now” a little odd.

I've got news for you Alex...most mom's aren't "hot."  And their kids love them.

Ellen Carrington           Miss Tennessee.org

A Jackson native and senior at Union University, Carrington decided to get the permit because she was spending a lot of time traveling to and from Nashville at night. She said spending time at shooting ranges with her father, Pat, helped create an even deeper bond between the two.

Ellen’s platform is volunteerism and being a positive role model.  Perhaps she would be a good influence for promoting concealed carry on college campuses.  That’s something to think about.

Protesting for Rights - The Right Way to Protest - Colorado University Boulder

Oh, please, Fram and Putman, don’t tell us, the American people, that we have lost the spirit that we have had as American people since the first foot touched soil here.  We are a compassionate country and we will come to the aide of each other when we are down.  We are a country of democracy, we can vote for whomever we choose.  We are always able to improve are lives if we choose to do so…it’s our choice…we still live in the land of opportunity, don’t we?  That has not changed.

These authors can only see in front of them and do not really know the people of America.  They could not have lived during the Great Depression, or fought during World War I or II.  They could not have "Gone West, young man,"  or traveled here as an immigrant all alone back in the 1800s, or broke their backs working hard as slaves on a plantation in the South. 

What do they know about Americans? 

They think we have lost our spirit.

They are wrong.

In the 50s and 60s robots were very mechanical in appearance, and extremely clumsy.  In the 70s and 80s their movement was more lifelike.  In the 90s, and now the 2000s they have become more human-like; even showing emotion and facial expression.

The reality is, in the coming decades human-robot relationships of the romantic nature are expected to become something commonplace.  For those who can't find the "real thing," forget the blow-up doll in the closet…no more lonely hearts club…a robot will be able to carry on a conversation of sorts with a partner….among other things.

The Japanese made a very lifelike robot back in 2006.  Except for the "Hello Kitty" shirt, that's a pretty convincing robot.
