TIMES
For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth - persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

But I'm not convinced mothers will consistently and overwhelmingly vote for their child's best interests.
Alaska gives a dividend each year to each state citizen from babies on up. The dividend varies but some years will exceed $1,000 per person. If you have a few kids, that really adds up.
The painful part is seeing how many children get no benefit from that dividend - the parents spend it on other things. The children get no nest egg or college fund to get them started on their own. Instead the money often goes to big screen TV's, stereo systems, fishing boats, 4-wheelers, snowmachines, etc. - toys for the adults instead of a headstart for the kids.
So - I don't know if extra votes for mothers will be of net benefit to the children.
Still, I love the idea of at least someone thinking about the needs of kids.
