Am I the only person wondering just how many special interest groups the democrats want to segment this nation into? I LOVE women and celebrate their empowerment and abilities to do anything anyone else can do, but let's stop this never ending dividing of the population into one group against another. How about a Human Achievement Museum? A museum that could actually include the wonderful and amazing things that people of ANY gender (and race) have accomplished. You know as well as I do that you would never support the creation of a National Men's History Museum.

Here, I'll do the commission's work for you right here so you don't have to spend a lot of your time (i.e. the taxpayer's dollars) on "researching" some possible "law" that is so gender one sided.

No. A woman's history museum is not needed at taxpayer expense nor is it called for unless;

A) The women to be placed in the museum have worked without any contact of support from men,

B) the women are female aliens from a distant planet... a planet of only females where there would be no interaction from any sort of male of the species.

Here, let me put this another way and we'll see if this would fly...

How about a bill for an exclusively MEN'S museum which will enshrine ONLY men and the historical significance of their actions?

Sounds reasonable, right? Shouldn't be any other faction screaming about how unfair that would be, right?

And we can research and pass a bill for funding at the expense of ALL taxpayers, whether or not it's a good idea.

Yeah, now THERE'S a bill I could get behind, Ms. Baloney.

I have and idea if you want one then you building it if you want a new football, basketball, baseball, soccer field you pay for it no public money at all. You want to start a new business no tax credits, want to move your business sorry no tax money you do things on your own. Now you can reduce taxes for everyone and everyone will be better off.
