We have to look at hard facts to find solutions to hard problems.

I just cannot get dtube to work for me... but I had a super creepy thing happen on bitchute! I have not uploaded anything there in a long time so I decided to try to get that account going again. The video I made ten days ago is there. I did NOT upload it. My husband did not upload it. We have not even logged onto the site in over a month. How the hell does THAT happen?

You're probably already familiar with this, but there were studies done from the 60s through 80s where new mothers were separated from their infants, then blindfolded and sent into a nursery with dozens of infants, and told to find their baby.

Which they did, unerringly, nearly every time, even when no babies were crying to alert them by voice.

And, when asked how they found their babies so quickly, unaided by sight or sound, the majority said something along the lines of, "My baby smelled the best."

So imprinting by smell goes both ways, and is incredibly important, and strong.

As for racism, the more we socialize our children with a wide range of people and situations, the more we introduce them to other cultures and portray those cultures in a positive light, the less racism will take hold.

It's not unlike socializing a dog. If we introduce them to lots of different people, and simply set boundaries that all people are to be treated with respect, regardless of who they are or what they look or smell like, little kids will go with that, the vast majority of the time.

We can't (and shouldn't) outwit our biology, so the only way through is to work with it, which isn't that hard, if we actually use these magnificent brains we've been given. ;-)

I think a great first step would be to have nursery schools adjacent to retirement centers, or even part of the same facilities.

In the few instances I've read about where this was done, the kids and elders benefited, the kids were better behaved with all the "grandparents" around, the staff had a reduced workload with the elders helping with the children, and the elders' health and moods improved dramatically, with the result that many were even able to have their medications reduced.

Win/win/win.

First our society normalized divorce, then we glorified single parenthood. Now, I know there are some FABULOUS single parents and I know there are some terrible marriages, but the general trend has been toward fracturing families. Rather than nursery and nursing homes, I think the extended family is the ideal situation. I think the number of hard core racists *You marry that person and you are disowned" kind of thing - is pretty much extinct. We could get over racism now if the media would let us, or so it seems to me. I am in Idaho, famous potatoes and racists... except that we had ONE tiny enclave of racists, and they have been run out. I do not know any actual "white supremacists." I have been here and involved in politics for many, many years now. No supremacists, not a one!
