With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And tell impoverished clown-car-vaginaed women down at the bus station to try some birth control
Because, you have to admit, you were thinking it:
A 76-year-old woman has been barred from the bus station after giving unwanted birth-control advice to mothers with large families. "I think it's wrong. It's a violation of my First Amendment rights," Laura Stevens said.She was arrested Tuesday for trespassing, a misdemeanor, according to police records.
"She's been making comments to some of the Hispanic passengers that they should be on the pill, that they're taking over our society," said Todd Beutler, general manager of the Cache Valley Transit District.
"The passengers have a right to ride and not be intimidated," he said.
Stevens said she recently noticed a mother struggling to control her six children.
"I felt sorry for her. Maybe she doesn't know that she could get a patch and not have a kid for five years," Stevens said.
Old folks don't give a rip what they say to people. That's why all they need to be walled off in N. Dakota -- the stockade in Montana is reserved for sneering teens.

I also know that the previous Pope was wildly popular with Hispanic Catholics, and he discouraged birth control.
Also, in some cultures adult children still value the opinion of their parents and that their children are to be esteemed.
Then,... there are the others that make you wonder if they know what causes that.

Posted by: CJ at June 29, 2007 08:34 PMYou're right about Montana -- whattheheck happened to that usedtobe wonderful place?
I think it was the influx from the Hollywoodites from CA a while back, left Montana permanently scarred socially. Otherwise, I haven't a clue as to what happened to the place, used to be guns, horses, dogs, trucks, down and quilts and a lot of open space and very little conversation -- all very good things to some of us.
