Two people coming home from work frustrated, because of being fed up of being bossed around by the Boss. No on to ease the stress since both of them are tired. So no easy to get angry with each other and tension builds up and so go to bed angry no love making. Or both of them tired from the demands of the work place and so to tired to make love. This is one of the things that contributes to the decrease in birth rate. As women become educated ther is a lot of tention in the home.

Date: May 26, 2006 You stated that where women are more educated than men, birth rates are distorted. Distorted from WHAT, may I ask? A time when women had no choice but to cleave to a man for food, shelter and relative safety? A time without birth control? A place with few real choices? Are you suggesting that the women in this community are not living up to their obligations to breed, perform unpaid domestic servant work, and generally take responsiblity for men's behavior? I have an idea: Give the high-tech jobs to the women, and train the undereducated men to cook, perform housekeeping chores, and carefully nurture the next generation. This way, educated, professional women will be happy to marry them, knowing that the house will be properly kept, her children will be raised well, and dinner will be on the table by 6pm every night. There! Problem solved! ************** (thanks to the folks upthread for giving me such poach-able material) Name: H.P.

You swiftly made it clear that women must be stopped immediately from believing that they are anything more than incubators for the state incapable of holding jobs in the high-tech industry despite all their education. Brilliantly, you even managed to fold the debate over immigration policy into the piece by establishing that only “native born” babies are acceptable when it comes to replenishing the nation’s population stores. I suggest that along with this plea to the NH Commission on the Status of Men (kudos to your state for creating such a body way ahead of more traditionally reactionary states) you make copies of Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid's Tale available to all its members. I believe they will find it most inspiring. Sincerely, A reader from New York Dear Editors,

Clearly, the editor is concerned with a non-problem. Unfortunately, I took the time to read everyone else's contributions first, and peed my pants from laughing, so now I have to go change my clothes instead. Perhaps another time? Here’s mine:

Clearly, men are the new blacks. So where will we find our Bill Cosby? (Also? It should be "live free AND die." That just bugs the hell out of me.)
