At the Emmy Awards earlier this month Sally Field made the claim that if mothers ruled the world there would be no war… If mothers ran the nations of the world then I believe wars would be waged without quarter or mercy, as the mothers would be fig…..

Anyone else remember Geena Davis as the alpha male in “Commander in Chief” a couple of years ago? She was the not so veiled icon representing Hillary as President – ready to send in the troops and make the hard decisions even when military men wouldn’t.

Did Sally reveal a new line of “thinking” in Hollywood, or is she off wandering in the fields on this issue? So which is it Hollywood:

woman = warrior = “we’re coming to get you sucka”, or

woman = pacifist = “I love what you’ve done with the Quds jackets…more tea Mr. Ahmadinejad?”

Actress Sally Field made headlines with her Emmy Awards acceptance speech by claiming that there wouldn’t be any more wars “if mothers ruled the world.” PJM advice columnist Dr. Helen Smith offers her opinion on the likelihood of world peace……

In the 5th grade, my youngest had had enough of a bully who was twice his size. The bully pushed him to the ground and Alex came up and slugged him right in the nose. The bully went down like a sack of potatoes. The policy in most schools is to suspend both kids and the principle was determined to do exactly that. Well, he had never had to deal with my wife when she was protecting her kids. The other kid was suspended and Alex continued going to school. Needless to say, the principle walked on eggshells around my wife from that point forward. (I know when to keep my mouth shut too)

First, in case you missed the Emmys the other night…

I know what you are thinking, “Sheesh – the only good bit of that clip was Hugh Laurie…”
No, but seriously, what was cut here was this:
“And let’s face it, if mot…

The one thing: Sally has NEVER worked in an office with more than 1 other woman.

And yes, I AM a woman.

If women ruled the world, we’d be in a world war four days each month.

Nick, you’re forgetting women are not ALL on the same cycle, so your assertion is wrong. It would be ALL month long. :)

Hey, give her credit… that was just the first “take.” With a couple of dozen more tries, she could get five or six words to come out right. We’ll be seeing this one on the next “Bloopers and Practical Jokes” show.

“I think if mothers ruled the world … and I don’t mean just mothers. There is a mothering mentality in men…”

Uuummmm, I think the word you are looking for, Sally, is fathers. So if mothers ruled the world, and you don’t mean just mothers, you mean fathers too, so if mothers and fathers ruled the world then there would be no wars. She needs better supervision and an “off” switch.

Take your ‘award’, Sally, go home, and have nice big glass of shut the He!* up!

Face it, the Human condition is not the idealistic fantasy of “Mothers Can Rule The World” end war, and save humanity. There will always be another Alexander, Cesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Hussien. As surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west on this planet there will ALWAYS be another despot waiting to engage in conquest. The likes of Sally Fields just “Don’t Get It”, and one guess who will have to pay the price for their stupidity.
