I try very hard to moderate this board. I do not state for whom I will vote, I do not discuss my political views, and have no desire to do so and politicize this board.

This is a board about Pets. If this thread is upsetting you, by all means go read some post in Dog General, or pick a pet for a bellyrub, or take a dog for long walk. No one should ever "post angry" here.
Direct your advice towards those who are posting angry, not towards me. I just simply started a post and stated an opinion. It is others who have turned this into something personal and vindictive -- not I.

I will say this. I really am appalled that not one person has spoken in agreement with me. It reveals the sad state of affairs to which this society has sunk.

I had a Down's Syndrome sister who died two years ago at the age of 54, when I was 52 (meaning we lived 52 years together), so you don't need to imply that I am ignorant of such things.

I too know women who have children and work. I may be wrong, but I would like to think that a woman would prefer to stay at home with her children if she had the choice. I remain appalled at any woman who would not.
