Most regrettably, Sally Field got it right and Pia de Solenni got it wrong. If mothers ruled all Western democracies (a slight but real world refinement of Ms. Field's statement), there would indeed be no wars, because all Western democracies would be prostrate before all incarnations of evil, and would indeed, to resurrect a phrase from antiquity, rather be red (or Muslim) than dead.

p>White men have not voted in the majority for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964. They always get it right. The most regrettable and statistically inevitable converse is that women as a group almost always get it wrong. Hence Ms. Field, in a bizarre twist of reason, gets it br> right. And if you need a little less polemics and a little more documentation of the implications of women's suffrage, get a copy of John Lott's Freedomnomics . /p> p>Don't get me wrong. There is no better sight or sound to a male conservative's senses than an Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham or Michelle Malkin. But they are in a distinct minority, once again as per Ms. Field. br> -- Frank Natoli br> Newton, New Jersey
