Yes, it's all determined by the distribution of wealth.

I recall that when Buffy Sainte-Marie had a child she pretty much retired from the professional music business and all its demands for about 10 years so she could stay home and give proper attention to bringing up her child. I missed her at the time, being a big fan of hers, but I appreciate her maturity and her sense of responsibility for setting her priorities that way.

What can be more important than giving your own children the best and most loving start in life that you can possibly give them? For thousands and thousands of years there was normally one parent who stayed home and took care of the children and the household. It's the natural way of life for human beings. When economic conditions make that very difficult or impossible then there's going to be a lot of social damage, and the effects are liable to be cumulative as that damage causes yet more damage farther on down the line.

Speaking of the $ySStem giving people false messages of "liberation" in order to further enslave them, anyone remember this?

Virginia Slims cigarettes were marketed as a "woman's cigarette" around a slick advertising slogan - "You've come a long way, baby!" And they showed scenes of women back in the 1890s or something like that having to hide in the closet to smoke a cigarette....but, hey, girls! Now you can light one up anywhere and puff gloriously and enjoy your "freedom" as a liberated woman in a "free society".

Talk about the height of marketing hypocrisy!...as they sold a very harmful and addictive drug and tried to make it look like liberation of the female gender. Among teenagers now there are more girls smoking than boys according to current statistics, and they are smoking more heavily than the boys on average when they do.

Slavery can be marketed under the guise of freedom.
