One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways.
-Bertrand Russell
I hope you don't mind.
"You don't die of a broken heart, you only wish you had." Okay. Pretty sappy. But I've been on what I've thought to be death's door more than once.
On a more serious note, another we've all heard many times and oh-so-true:
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and covenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~Martin Luther King
In closing: You were before your time, Mae West!!
"Men aren't attracted to me by my mind, they're attracted to me by what I don't mind."
Quote of the Day
"I learnt the lesson on nonviolence from my wife, when I tried to bend her to my will. Her determined resistance to my will on the one hand, and her quiet submission to the suffering my stupidity involved on the other, ultimately made me ashamed of myself and cured me of my stupidity in thinking that I was born to rule over her."
-- Gandhi
Laws
"Due to the mind-stupifying wisdom of our elected officials, men have every legal right to conceive and bear, to term, a child. Due to my own ability to think for myself, I realize that societal laws are oftentimes pure bunk with no basis in fact or natural law."

I am puzzeled.
Are you saying that the personal right and choice to bear and rear a child should be legislated?
Not to mention that men conceiving, bearing to to term children part.
Just how would one do that Tib?
Eugenics?
Steralisation?
What criteria would you use.
I would suggest that in North America it would be most likely financial status.
So step up onto the table and into the stirrups dear friend.
Snip, snip.
You know what the difference is between you and me Tib?
There is a Vas Defrens. {look it up]

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.
