That Gender Gap

Submitted by ub on

Let's hear it for all those women on earth... They are born to carry babies and to give birth to them, they have to deal with hormone imbalances, make up, bad hair days and on top of all of this, they have to put up with men.

Men have to be the largest self centered, egotistical and the most hot-wired for instant aggression living beings to ever walk on the face of the earth.

Since the time humans began using their brains, the women started to catch up to men.

US CONSTITUTION

Submitted by ub on

This week, we celebrated a significant date in our US history, when New Hampshire became the ninth and last state needed to ratify the US Constitution, thereby making the document the law of this great nation. Today the U.S. Constitution is the oldest written constitution in operation in the world.

USA, lets hope and pray that the leaders of this country have the courage, character and strength to stand for what is right, and never be afraid to express themselves.
