When This Blows Over

When Branch Rickey moved to integrate baseball, he
knew that if he backed a failure, the cause of integration
would be set back a generation. Rickey very consciously
selected Jackie Robinson for the task, knowing that
Robinson had both the baseball skills and the personal
attributes to take on the challenge and keep on coming.
By contrast, if Hillary Clinton -- false, fleeting, perjurious
Hillary -- is the first woman president, she will be the last.
She is simply not in the same league as Diane Feinstein,
Olympia Snowe, Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice
and a large number of women whose political
accomplishment extend beyond riding hubby's coattails
even as she provided cover for his sex crimes.
India had a woman Head of State, Indira Gandhi, and it
remains unchanged. Firmly in place is a culture of a cruel
abusive criminalized system of lawless male
disparagement of women with vicious and murderous
power over women, deeply tolerated and protected and
cast in cement. This lawless male barbarity to women
stretches to all classes, educated, uneducated, rich or poor,
high or low "caste".
Maggie Thatcher was Head of State in Britain and the
nation regressed under her ruthless onslaught of
disenfranchisement of whole communities which affected
women deeply and made them even more vulnerable to
male domination and power, and poorer, much poorer.
