Have they not read "We the people..." in the Preamble to the Constitution. They work for us, not the other way around. Until then they need to be shown all the respect they show us, which is not much, till they get the message, "THEY WORK FOR US!".

The opposite of what was said. Yes, I agree there are some personal decisions that the government needs to keep their hands off of. Women's reproductive rights being one of them.

and while we're at it, you don't OWN women, children, the Earth or really anything--you just take care, with respect, to relate responsibly while living as an Earthling here.

The lie of men having dominion OVER women and animals was made up by insecure men a couple thousand years ago--and that needs to go because we have learned since that all life has sovereignty and we have underestimated the wisdom and interconnection we all share.

No.You.Can't. *

*'Yes We Can' refers to The People (we probably should have asked who 'we' were, in retrospect) and not corporations, white men only, Christians only, ones with high classified clearance, those with the most highly advanced weaponry, and all those enabling the abuse, torturing and plundering of the planet.
