News Flash: Loren Agrees With President Obama (for a second)

"We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child - it's the courage to raise one."
-- President Barack Obama

It's not that I think that men don't step up to the plate when they become fathers; many of them do. However, it seems to be an overwhelming trend today in America that young men are walking away from parenthood. President Obama promotes the following website to support his quest to encourage fathers to step up.

Wow! That's a hopeful step in the direction of expanding women's rights, truly.

Dear Internet Traveler,

Welcome to my writer's blog, started about six years ago for fun. Over time, the writing I have posted has ranged from personal reflection, to Long Island history research, to tall tales for my own amusement, to feature articles for local newspapers. As you can see from topics listed here, I travel in many mental directions in regard to interests. Click on the tabs and labels to explore my strange mind which senses that you may be having a criss-cross day. If so, perhaps this blog will distract you. However, please note that if you tell me my blog is beautiful just to get me to advertise rhinoplasty surgery and cheap drugs from Canada in your comment, I will ask the gods to give you a tail that cannot be concealed.

Fondly,

Loren Christie
