The Million Mom "Martyrs" (a
limerick) (du20000528-01)
I tire of the Million-Mom wail
that life is a stressful travail.
They seem to not know
their ancestors' woes
like those on the Oregon Trail.
If they had been moms long ago,
when husbands proclaimed,
"Westward Ho,"
They would've said "No !
We ain't gonna go
until we ban arrows and bows."

Million Mom March:
Militant Passivism*
by the Passivopians**
(limerick 20000522-01)
A quite contradictory vision
is militants for
passivism.
They quite loudly say
in their strident way,
"Let's passively trust
gov'ment's wisdom."

---*Militant
Passivism
(not to be confused with
pacifism) is a term I coined to define those who militantly advocate passage of
new laws and/or implementation of government programs calculated to require
citizens to passively rely upon government to apply its infinite wisdom to do
what's good for them and everyone else whether they like it or not-- Jim Wrenn,

---**Passivopians
is a term I coined to describe those who militantly advocate that they and
everyone else passively rely upon what is in essence a naive, utopian belief
that good citizens should passively rely upon the wisdom and power of government
to do what it, in its infinite wisdom, deems best for them-- Jim Wrenn,

Moms Against Guns--
Motherhood
Eclipsed by Activism
( Mother's Day limericks du20000514-01)
The moms-against-guns claim statistics
are proof we need anti-gun fixes.
Their glib use of stats
obscures the real facts
about which they're cleverly picky.
As part of their mantra they say ...
that "thirteen kids die ev'ry day,
because there are not
enough trigger-locks ... "
as if that's the
accident rate.
But all but a few of those deaths
are products of criminal quests,
and crime-deaths are not
prevented by locks
'cause thugs don't make safety their
test.
The accident rate they don't say--
It's less than one every four days.
Of course that is bad,
but what is more sad?
That air-bags killed
one-fifty-eight !
And why did those air-bag deaths happen?
The gov'ment required us to have 'em !
And how did we lose
the freedom to choose
our own way to have self-protection?
It started with such good intentions
soon after the seat-belt's invention.
Some wouldn't choose
their seat-belts to use,
so then we got air-bag mandation.
Like those who presumed air-bags best,
the anti-gun moms won't confess
that really their goal
is that we be told
just how we should care for ourselves
Those anti-gun moms love statistics ...
except those that show they're complicit:
Few kids do crime
with mothers full-time
unlike those whose moms are
careerists.
And since very few kids do crimes
when raised by their mothers full-time
More could be saved
if more moms would say
"I'll put my kids first all the
time."
It's clear that such one simple choice
by more moms to heed nature's voice
would save far more lives
than all the things tried
since day-care became their
first choice.
The much lower rate of youth crime
was when moms were mothers full-time.
All children thirst
to have Mama first
instead of just "quality" time.
I'm thankful my wife said to me:
"A mother full-time I will be."
And she had no fear
to quit her career
so she could fulfill our kids' needs.
And so to those mothers whose voice
is loudest in favor of choice,
I just recommend
the place to begin
is listening to nature's own voice.
If follower-moms would just stop
behaving like sheep in a flock,
they won't need to guess
to know what is best
to help their kids get to the top.
The number of kids this would save
would vastly exceed their parade.
More would receive
the love that they need
and fewer would go to their graves.
Of course moms aren't solely to blame
'cause fathers
deserve lots of blame.
Many beget
and then just forget
and leave their poor offspring in shame .
Too many lasses and lads
have fathers but never have dads.
They just plant their seed,
then gutlessly leave
their kids to be lonely and sad.
The view we must bring back again
is no-wedlock births are
a shame.
To fight the good fight,
admit Quayle was right,
and never mock daddies again
