Just had a wonderful time talking to an old pal who just happens to be pregnant now. (I wonder how that happened!) She is in her sixth month and is not enjoying her morning sickness very much. Actually, she does not like the term 'morning sickness' - to her, it is 24x7 sickness. Yech!
You have got to respect a woman for going through many mornings of sickness, many times with their head stuck in a toilet bowl and many restless nights as their bodies adjust to a growing life inside them. (Kick! Kick! Hey! I need food! - the baby inside demanding attention and food.)
I know my pal will be a great mom - she has so much humor and her husband is a wonderful guy. I know they are going to spoil their child rotten. I hope my wife and I can start our own baby-making factory and our kids to grow up together. It'll be nice to see our kids playing together.
Oh, back to the topic of pregnancy. I think the government should pay huge sums of money to women for haivng babies. Not only are women postponing their working careers, they are helping to keep our world alive. If I were the Prime Minister of Canada, I would pay women a monthly salary to have their babies. While the amount may pale in comparison to their regular jobs, any amount of money can go a long way. Wouldn't it be nice if the government could pay women about $15,000 per pregancy? Shouldn't the government spend money on rewarding people for having children instead of feeding money to that money-grubbing monster called 'the military industrial complex'???
Getting back to my pregnant Canuck friend, I sure hope she does not let the child become an extreme right winger, aka 'The Conservative Party of Canada'. It is a shame what has happened to the old political party of 'Dief the Chief'. I guess deep down I am unhappy with what Peter MacKay has done to the PC Party. While I count myself as a person who falls more on the right of the political spectrum, I do not want them to take over the country. As long as the extreme right wing wants to change the face of Canuckland, I will put my support behind the Liberal Party. At least with Paul Martin, you know where he is coming from. The Grits may be incompetent but you can understand them quite easily. As for the Right Wing of Canada, they will only lead Canada down the same path the religious right wing of the Republican Party is taking the USA: Christian Crusades and global domination of the masses. I will not allow any government or political party to hijack my religion.
