After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, protests outside the Supreme Court by people claiming that rights have been taken away by old white men. Certain women complaining about misogyny and patriarchy that’s oppressing them. Toxic masculinity, some claim, tries to keep women down and oppressed. Womens rights are being abused daily the “ Me too” movement claims.. Gloria Steinem the old hippie from California says” masculinity is a desease that needs to be eradicated”.,, Where does all this venom and vitriol come from and why?….

...the irony i find is that in effect what is a "Christian" (and "White") background , how little charity they have, especially to Americans who are never going to be "connected" (in their lifetime) like them.
...and how hard is it to imagine that such people treat women like the working people they pay; more like objects.
Being, the neighbour so to speak it saddens me, while (i know) America is the greatest country on earth, its decline with "this" corruption is to be expected; it's wrecking my life, i imagine how worse it is, the stress it causes to Americans.
Now, things may change, the next elections in November are important, the vote counts, will you be voting for Cheney?
"This" must stop; not as the divisive tool it has been made to be. A line has been crossed.
An American is an American; Freedom, that's all that has to be said. And as Persons, (being a BBF) it's a huge diaspora, where in Liberty these majorities (as states) demonstrate their own Goodwill toward the minorities living among them.
Will Americans, not along Party lines, vote, but as Americans first?
"why" is not answered so easily, but "it" is a threat to all of us who do not want to live in fear, or who do not want to be placed in a role not of our own choosing that is against our own will.
And sex, what is that, why does it matter, what your sex or your gender is; yet the power of Democracy allows all people to organise, and as Persons represent themselves (as Americans). This too is the American way.
...it is an issue of power, and absolute power as things are changing is not limited to men alone, or to women who have gained now the right to the same positions; indeed it is obvious that "their" power is diluted even more.

Tobacco eventually became a cash crop here in Virginia. Englishmen immigrated to Jamestown for plenty of free land to grow their tobacco and to export it to Europe. At one point there were more English in Virginia growing tobacco, then there were in England.. The farming of tobacco needed more labor, that’s when someone came up with the idea to bring black slaves to Virginia.. The colonies grew and just 150 years later, the colonies declared their independence from England..

As a food source, corn was abundant, adaptable, and nourishing, saving many early settlements from starvation. The Native Americans taught the Europeans much more than planting and raising corn. They showed how corn was properly ground and made palatable in various ways.
