Big ol' tip o' the hat to Quaker Dave and Blue Gal for this one.
Sally Field donned shades of Norma Rae at the Emmy Awards this week stating that " ... if the mothers ruled the world there would be no goddamn wars in the first place."
Well - here's what I think life would be like if the mamas ruled the world

Well - here's what I think life would be like if the mamas ruled the world
- There would be no children starving in China/Africa/etc. because everyone would have enough to eat
- We'd share everything. We wouldn't take things that aren't ours. We would put things back where we found them.
- We'd leave a place better than we found it and there would be a lot more parks
- Everyone would get a turn
- We'd hold hands and stick together
- Whether or not you were born in a barn, everyone would have to clean up their own mess
- Though money doesn't grow on trees, trees are as important as money
- If you're going to start a fight do it outside and make up before you go to bed

Amen sistah!
:) Didn't watch the Grammy's, but totally agree with you. I'd just like to add
- Not before your homework is done, and
- Read for at least an hour before you get any t.v.
Go out and play! And don't come home before dark unless someone is bleeding.
Brilliant thoughts for the beginning of the New Year. Todah. I think the big thing is sharing...women do it. We make our children do it. Then some of them seem to grow up and forget how. Let's carve "Would your mother be proud?" and hang it over all government buildings....I wonder, is Barbara proud? Truly? In her heart-of-hearts?
I'm not a mother or anything (just a doting aunt!), but I love this post. I just wanted to let you know. :)
Thanks for the linky love, too.
