Keep Her honest about this, Kos, make sure she keeps her promise:
On my first day as President, I'll set two big goals. I want the U.S. to have half a billion solar panels by 2020. And I want us to generate enough renewable electricity to power every home in America in the next 10 years. With the right investments, we’ll create good-paying jobs and make America the world’s clean energy superpower.
Hillary Clinton.
She also has a book out, Admittedly Ghost Written but still, we Agree very profoundly about The Dire need for a SOCIETY, COMMUNITY, and NEUTRAL 3rd parties , that book? en.wikipedia.org/...
This has a LOT to do with why I reject Libertarianism. My Mother was RAPED by her FATHER. Libertarianism as an ideology is all about individualism, Thatchers quotes that there was no such thing as Society are a Real problem for people like me because I still remember Reporting my Friends Abusive Father to the High school SAFE office and what I’m trying to say is that We have a Civilization and a Society for a reason. If it all comes down to individualism then sole discretion for Child rearing goes to Parents- which is a Problem.

It should go without saying that We cannot take for GRANTED that ALL parents are Supportive.
You see I’m Against Parental Notification For Minors seeking Abortion and that is One of the Few issues on which both Pro-choicers and Forced Birthers have been able to meet consensus which makes me a Key Dissident in a Country that would Gladly take for granted that All Parents are Truly Supportive.
So I recognize the DIRE need for the Village because of My Mother.

DEAR ABBY: I am extremely shaken by a recent experience, and I want to share this with other parents who may one day find themselves in a similar situation. My daughter, "Mary," is almost 18 and in the 12th grade. We have always had a close relationship. She has always come to me to talk about what's going on in her life -- friends, crushes, school, just about everything.
A few months ago, Mary told me about a terrible situation concerning one of her classmates. "Jill" had just learned that she was pregnant and was frantic. She told Mary that she couldn't tell her parents because she was afraid of a violent reaction.
Mary was so worried about Jill that she came to me for help. After hearing the story, I encouraged my daughter to tell Jill to talk to her parents. I never imagined what would happen next.
I knew from things Mary had said that Jill's parents were hard on her, but I didn't know the extent of her problems at home. When Jill took my advice and told her parents she was pregnant, her father beat her so badly she ended up in the hospital and lost the baby.
Abby, you can't imagine how terrible I feel about this. Jill will never be the same, and I feel I am to blame. I wish I had known how to protect her from a dangerous and violent situation at home.
I hope you will share this letter with other concerned parents and give your thoughts on this heart-wrenching problem. -- SHOCKED AND SADDENED IN SHERMAN OAKS, CALIF.
DEAR SHOCKED: Please stop being so hard on yourself. You advised your daughter's friend to do what most other parents would have. What you failed to take into consideration was the fact that many teens live in homes where there is violence, abuse, drug problems and incest.

as a DEDICATED feminist I would do just about anything to get this group More attention:
I realize my role in this Will Polarize the debate even further but It needs to be said:
I have the HORRIBLE Privilege of having a Mother that was Abused by her father who had he been just a Tiny bit more deviant could have knocked my mother up… I would hate to think of her having to go down to that Judical bypass without a SHRED of support from Legal Counsel.
and WHAT 16 year old girl who finds herself in that situation knows how to navigate the complexities of the court system?
You see I was never insincere about my own Feminism and none of it was ever about me.
It was -all- Selfless.
as far as I’m concerned in regards to my Service to that particular cause I do not exist.
This is why I’m a Liberal and a Believer in Community.
Because the teenagers of this world need one.
and the “Free market” from what I can tell has NO viable alternative to this.
my Liberal Identity is Impossible to seperate or Divorce from my Feminist identity. This is in many ways my Apologetica for my beliefs. A Justification for Rejecting Thatcherism and Libertarian Free market Laissez faire anarcho-capitalism.
In other words I am a Liberal because I am a Feminist.
and I don't believe Libertarianism is compatible with Feminism.
and that’s why I like the Notion that “It takes a village.”
because it does, Especially when the Parents of the Child are Abusive.
Keep her honest about those Solar Panels though. Please.

It’s true my Left wing identity is intertwined with my Feminist one.
I am on the left in large part because I’m a feminist.
I reject Thatcherism because of my Mother and the realization that She really neeeded a “Society” and while the Siren song of Individual right’s can be Seductive Libertarianism is just an argument over wither Families are going to have authority over their children or is it going to be a public matter.
My point of view is in a world in which some parents are abusive and some like my mother’s father even Rape their daughters it’s a public matter, not a private one. And as a Society we need to do more to Protect our nations Teenage girls when they have Abusive parents.
I’ve HAD to REFLECT on these issues quiet a bit unfortunately because it seems like everyone I’ve met has wanted me to issue an apologetic defense of my ideology justifying the “Why?”
Well this is “Why?”
My mother was Raped by her Father and due to the incest situaiton I fundamentally cannot take for granted that all parents are truly supportive parents, in the absence of the state no VIABLE free market alternative exist.
and while DCF is A FLAWED solution that needs massive work it’s the only thing we’ve got in many cases.
