About the Book This extra-big, extra-fat, and extra-fun full-color book features hippos, cats, pigs, cows, elephants and rhinos. Our Judeo-Christian civilization has developed the law and custom that, since women must bear the physical consequences of the sex act, men must be required to bear the other consequences and pay in other ways. The fact that women, not men, have babies is not the fault of selfish and domineering men, or of the establishment, or of any clique of conspirators who want to oppress women. If you don’t like this fundamental difference, you will have to take up your complaint with God because He created us this way. It is based on the fact of life-which no legislation or agitation can erase-that women have babies and men don’t. This respect is part and parcel of our laws and our customs. Our unique status is the result of a fortunate combination of circumstances.ġ) We have the immense good fortune to live in a civilization which respects the family as the basic unit of society. We have the most rights and rewards, and the fewest duties. Of all the classes of people who ever lived, the American woman is the most privileged. This speech began as an 1972 essay in Schlafly's newsletter The Phyllis Schlafly Report, but was adapted for speeches and debates on behalf of STOP ERA, a group founded by Schlafly. Underground airlines book review5/13/2023 It’s a little cutesy that the actual eighteenth amendment, Prohibition, is the only one to have ever been amended, but historical in-jokes aside, I find it to be a genuinely interesting thought experiment. No future amendment of the Constitution shall affect the five preceding articles…and no amendment shall be made to the Constitution which shall authorize or give to Congress any power to abolish or interfere with slavery in any of the States by whose laws it is, or may be, allowed or permitted. I spent several minutes staring at this, focusing particularly on the first sentence: Instead, it was enshrined in a series of amendments that were themselves enshrined in a new eighteenth amendment, an excerpt of which is the first text the reader sees. Underground Airlines is set in modern times in an America where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated as president-elect, the Civil War never happened, and slavery was never abolished.

Scary Out There by Jonathan Maberry5/12/2023 No, it’s okay, it’s a good death.Įxcept that was total bullshit. His stoicism trying to give his fears a last handjob. Not caring that this was it, that this was the actual end. He understood it, appreciated it, but did not want to be written into it. However Sam Imura was not a particularly poetic man. A quiet, passive death that had a kind of bullshit poetry attached to it. A killer of men like him killed by having corpses piled on top of him. And maybe there was some kind of cosmic joke in all of this. Not tearing at him with broken fingernails. Crushing him down, smothering him, killing him. The soldier was in some shit-hole of a who-cares town on the ass-end of Fayette County in Pennsylvania. And not in that small cemetery back home in California, where his grandparents lay under the marble and the green cool grass. Certainly not in Arlington, where his dad would have wanted to see him laid to rest. There might have been some comfort in that.

The ancient mariner by st coleridge5/12/2023 Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay, That made the breeze to blow! Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious sun uprist : Then all averred, I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist. And the good south wind still blew behind, But no sweet bird did follow, Nor any day for food or play Came to the mariners' hollo! And I had done a hellish thing, And it would work 'em woe: For all averred, I had killed the bird That made the breeze to blow. " Part II "The sun now rose upon the right: Out of the sea came he, Still hid in mist, and on the left Went down into the sea. " `God save thee, ancient Mariner! From the fiends that plague thee thus! - Why look'st thou so?' -"With my crossbow I shot the Albatross. The ice did split with a thunder-fit The helmsman steered us through! And a good south wind sprung up behind The Albatross did follow, And every day, for food or play Came to the mariner's hollo! In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud, It perched for vespers nine Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white Glimmered the white moonshine. It ate the food it ne'er had eat, And round and round it flew. At length did cross an Albatross, Thorough the fog it came As if it had been a Christian soul We hailed it in God's name.
