I have moved places on my own... I know lots of men who have started over all by themselves... moved to places like alaska and such with no idea what was there.
tigress... women will trade freedom for security.. even for perceived security.. they will vote socialist. I don't know how much more plain I can make it.
If they could they would pass laws making us wear seatbelts and helmets and take away our guns or right to smoke in private owned places.

Hi Laz,
Thanks for your reply. It's clear and to the point.
On your re-occuring theme that we women will trade freedom for security thus vote socialist...
Women do not run the Socialist Party...
Nor do we run the Democratic Party.
Socialism has been a world force long before we women were given the right to vote in this country.
Carl Marx, Lenin, and Stalin were men.
There is no "Women's Party", per se.
We women are Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, etc., etc., etc.
I AM NOT A SOCIALIST …But, even if I were, so what?
You are going to take away the right to vote of anyone who does not agree with your politics?
Since women are more easily repressed, you focus on us? Ohhh my...
Even if I were a Socialist... this country is founded on the principle that each and every American Citizen is entitled to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Not some people... For All People.
If my right to vote is prevented, I am not happy!
I, and many other women, do not like being told what to do by the government or anybody else which includes you.
I speak for myself when I say: what other people do is Their Business... Not mine. If you want to drive your motorcycle without a helmet, go for it. I will vote for a change in the law to permit you to do so.
Smoking in private places? NO ONE has a right to tell you or me or anyone else whether you can smoke or not in private places. That is extremism and it doesn't fly, in my book.
I want this country to be as free from government tinkering into my life and your life and everyone else's life, as possible!
I vote Republican and Democrat depending on the political balance and the candidates. A lot of other women also do this.
In my view, this country would wind up as a Communist country if everyone voted Democrat/Socialist... NO THANKS!
It would end up being a Fascist Country if everyone voted Republican... NO THANKS!
In my view, we need a
balance to keep the extreme minded wingnuts under control. I won't take away their right to vote to do it though. That would invalidate the basis of yours and my Republic.
If you or anyone else is an extremist wingnut, then, in my view, you/they need to be overruled. Such extremists do not represent the main stream interests of the 300+ million inhabitants of this country.
What kind of a real democracy limit citizen's voting power only to those, whom in their own opinion, "think they know best"?
There are some citizen groups who are denied voting rights in the United States... those convicted of felonies and those below the age limit.
Preventing women from voting sounds pretty freekin' extreme to me, Mister.
Are you an extremist? God, I hope not... because if you are... you will not get any respect from me on your political views. But I won't take away your right to vote nor disallow you to speak your mind as you see fit.
With all due Respect and a couple of hugs,
TIGERESS
