If there were an Iroquis grandmother counsel now Bush would be out on his ass and we wouldnt be destroying a beautiful country because we are scared it might produce "terrorists". So I dont know if Thomas Jefferson would have changed his mind, but he definetly should have! :)

I definately think that women have become very weak.. "taking their place" and all the bullshit, and Bush is just plain an idiot.. I have bad dreams about what the world is to come all the time.. and I wonder how people don't see where things are going. Slowly we are killing ourselves because we are too distracted trying to pay bills, and taxes, and raise children, and acheive the life that every american "wants" the cookie cutter life.. (not for me never has been) although it would be nice to have money to pay for my midwifery school lol
