Today, January 4, 2007, is a "great day" for women, and, USA politics. It is historical for the the fact that the "speaker of the house" is a woman, Nancy Pelosi!
Nancy Pelosi is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and, a no-nonsense, forward thinking, liberated hard working politician. It is so refreshing to see women finally start to get their just places in the grand scheme of things. They can, and should, be a significant improvement over what we have been pretty much force fed for the last 8 billion years.
Speaker Pelosi should be a rallying point for all women to raise their sights and step up their pursuits of goals that most thought they could never reach. Now is the time for women to take their rightful position, side by side with men, or, in a lot of cases, ahead of men.
Congratulations Speaker Pelosi!

So I have a question for you, I was asked this is my Psychology class this week. Which are we as a country most likely to see first, a woman or an African-American male for President, and will we see it in our lifetime (i.e next 20 or 30 years)?
Hopefully, we will see a woman President very soon. Yes, in less than 20 years. Maybe even in the next 2 years. Let's go Ms.Clinton!
The question implies (maybe), which "should" we see first. Clearly, if we are to talk about second class citizens, oppression, lack of rights, held-down, held-back, yet holding together; women certainly deserve a crack at running things before anyone else. They make up the majority of the population, they have been oppressed longer than water has been wet, and they literally are the glue that holds the whole thing together. Remember, all of us got here through a women. Just the opinion of a thoughtful Black male.
