The article doesn’t go far enough–who will get the $$$ for construction? Why does this feel like deja vu with the citizens given those awful pre-fab boxes that were also given to the survivors of Katrina? The materials used made them ill. I don’t understand why they would be used again, especially when there are alternatives, such as earthships that can be constructed cheaply, quickly, and provide space to grow one’s food and harvest water?

Here’s a hint, Jeopardy producer: WOMEN ARE NOT A SINGLE ENTITY. We are individuals with individual ideas, wants and needs, likes and dislikes, political views, world views, and on. Good Grief.

…and here it starts with sexualizing young girls. This particular dancer was not overt, but come on, “Anaconda” is for adults, not eleven year old girls.
Related to this, I was flipping through the channels, when Dance Moms was on. What I saw in the few minutes I watched was absolutely appalling. These young girls are dressed up in skimpy costumes, wearing heavy makeup, and gesturing sexually. WTH?
When a mother objected to the overt sexuality of the costumes/dance, the instructor insisted if the girl wanted to “compete” she had to do it this way….*everybody* was doing it this way and her competition would be stiff. The mother caved in. Recently, there was a festival in our area where girls were vying for princess and queen of the festival. There was a picture of a young girl in heavy makeup. She looked to be a freshmen in high school. I was shocked to read in the article that she was….
…eight years old. Eight freaking years old and heavily made up to look like she was past puberty and a young woman instead of a little girl. Makes me sick with disgust. I don’t know what parents are thinking anymore.
