...Right on
Some of us were born with money to spend
Some of us were born for races to win
Some of us are aware that it's good for us to care
Some of us feel the icy wind of poverty blowing everywhere
But those of us who simply like to socialize
But those of us who tend the sick or heed the peoples cry
Let me say to you ....

It's easy to remember
While it appears that the Supreme Court decision to not require a court appointed attorney for non custodial parents facing incarceration for failure to pay child support is a blow to parental rights, nothing could be further from the truth.
If you read a little further into the decision you find that they determined that State courts must conduct such proceedings in a fundamentally fair manner. For those of you who labor under the delusion that this ruling is just a reiteration of rights parents were already entitled to as citizens living under the constitution of the United States please allow me to disabuse you of that notion.
Perhaps it might do each of you some good to spend an afternoon down at your local Family Court watching them dispatch these matters with all the delicacy and deliberate consideration of a professional dodge ball tournament.
And that, friends and neighbors, is so very hard to forget.

Steps ahead
Somewhere along the way we got the idea that fathers were expendable, optional, purely a biological function and not really necessary.
How's that working for ya?
Happy Father's Day

Pay the doctors boy
OK, I am convinced that on some level this is seriously racist.
But until Reverend Al calls a press conference this is funny as hell.

Bankers nothwithstanding...
Shouldn't folk who get too far out on the limb have to hang there a while suffering for all to see lest everyone get too rambunctious during the next acorn harvest.
Isn't it basically the depression babies who fueled the greatest economic boom in the history of the world with a savvy mix of hard work, thrift and consumerist consumption for the benefit of their less industrious offspring.
These sombitches here have only seen the consumption side of that equation.
So the point is maybe it's more than just dogma and ignorance that is carrying the day.
Remedial version.
