(90,747 posts)And NOT JUST IN THIS CASE!!! But this certainly IS one case.
It's just staggering - a DAUNTING task ahead when one considers the work that still needs to be done.
We have to re-educate the public about climate change.
We have to re-educate the public on the value of - AND NECESSITY OF - government.
We have to re-educate the public about the value of public education.
We have to re-educate the public about the critical importance of keeping church and state SEPARATE.
We have to re-educate the public about the value, importance, and vital public NEED - of the paying of taxes.
We have to re-educate the public about the value and necessity of simple compassion and empathy, which since bush/cheney have been objects of derision and scorn.
We have to re-educate the public about the very message of Jesus Christ our Lord. HE'S NOT THE ONE WHO SAID "If you don't work, you don't eat." HE'S THE ONE WHO SAID "feed my lambs, feed my sheep"; "look at the lilies of the field who neither toil nor spin yet not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these"; "the birds in the air do not work yet your Heavenly Father feeds them - are you not worth more than these"; and "whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Me..." You know, all that loving, tolerant, accepting, caring, compassionate bunk.
And yes, we have to continue to re-educate the public about the entire notion of the woman, the female. We're here on earth to do, accomplish, and produce more than just baby-making. I suppose it would be the same as to think that the only thing all men were good for or valued for - was how measurably hard or long they could get, or how many women they could satisfy at one sitting.
It's the objectifying. To paraphrase the "it's the economy, stupid" slogan from James Carville, once upon a time, "it's the objectifying, stupid." (Not saying you're stupid, oberliner.)
