    I mowed the lawn. The grass is now shorter.

    It is a public holiday in Germany.

    Happy Women's Day to you women.

    Thank you Cats, happy women's day to all the ladies

    nope... business as usual, although I came across an interesting article about the origins of women's day.... we certainly don't have reason to complain in Australia

    International Women's Day went from bloody revolution to corporate breakfasts

    Something tells me that revolution in 1917 had some dire consequences for human rights more broadly, including for women.

    Actually it was the creation of the Euro bonds, that allowed those who steal vast amounts of money and bury it in Swiss banks to use and cash it in pretty much anywhere.

    I was referring to this part of Pie's quote, we are so obsessed with racism and misogyny, transgender, gays we completely ignore the massive scale of theft going on around us, while millions starve from hunger... the basic human right to food

    sw,
    thanks for explaining, yes you are right there....
    The older I get the more I become aware of how many people only act to have an advantage.
    Was life more beautiful when we were younger, or is it part of aging to see things in a less positive way?
