    This is probably the topic that causes me the most grief, but it is comparable to only one small tear in a rushing river of blood.

    China’s one child policy

    Explosive new evidence of torture, murder, and pillage to be revealed today at House hearing on China’s brutal one-child policy

    China’s one-child toll reaches 400 million
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/death-toll-from-chinas-one-child-policy-reaches-400-million-unborn-babies

    “Over the years, I have been asked many times to estimate how many lives have been lost in China as a result of the one-child policy. Given that the policy has been in place for 30 years, I respond, and given that each year the government aborts between 10 to 15 million women, the total number of unborn children whose lives have been sacrificed is somewhere between 300 and 450 million…”

    “Think about China’s astonishing economic performance — its annual GDP growth over the past three decades is close to 10% — once the Communist Party stopped trying to control all economic activity. Think of the tremendous work ethic of the Chinese people and their dedication to educating their children. Think of the labor shortages that are now cropping up across the country because of the one-child policy, where many factories cannot recruit enough workers.”

    “Think on these things, and then ask yourself: Is China really better off because its leadership has eliminated 400 million one of the most intelligent, hard working, and entrepreneurially minded peoples the world has ever seen?”

    “Has the Chinese Communist Party lost its collective mind? It has eliminated 400 million customers.”

    I love my sling, Mommy.

    | September 23, 2011

    Awwww… C1 happened to find her baby ring sling and carried it over to me. She was so proud she had found it and smiled excitedly to be put in it… At home, I haven’t tended to babywear her as much as I did with my previous babies because with much older children in the house, more arms want to hold her, and she actually wants to be in on all the action. At this age, she usually prefers to be wrestling on the living room floor rather than in the sling at the kitchen sink. (Not that I am at the kitchen sink very often what with having older kids.)

    Sibling Connection

    | September 23, 2011

    It crossed my mind this morning that the children could all be away at school and only C1 would be home all day – with no buddies. I mentioned the scenario to L7, and he did a seven-year-old roll on the floor and was not impressed with the thought. Something so strange and shocking to us is the norm to most other families. If you think about it honestly, which is really more NORMAL?! It has been hard enough on the kids to have the oldest brother go to university, but this sibling separation was supposed to start at age five? I think NOT.

    Yum!

    Yes I do peel grapes and cut them in pieces for my one-year-old, (as I did with previous babies.)

    Baby Wishing

    I was getting groceries tonight, and during the 25 minutes, I had three mothers tell me they regret not having more children.

    Media Malpractice on Netflix

    | September 20, 2011

    B13 and I just watched Media Malpractice on Netflix. I thought I knew the extent of the bias of the mainstream media, but I learned even more. Unbelievable. Since I watch FNC, listen to talk radio, and read alternative internet media, I am coming from a different perspective than most people. Now I understand how people who only watch the main networks or Canadian news (with the exception of SUN News) are given only a completely distorted view of politics, etc. I highly recommend Media Malpractice.

    Halfway There

    | September 19, 2011

    I talked to my sister today who is busy growing a baby! 20 weeks already! I guess boy, but I was wrong with my brother and sister-in-law’s baby. I always guessed right with my own babies. The last time, we landed at the hospital without even having settled on a boy’s name at all.

    What Do YOU Sound Like?

    When your children need an attitude adjustment, you probably need an attitude adjustment.

    Yay! My revamped site is working!

    | September 19, 2011

    Now, I can make myself at home. This is what I call a “Status Update”. You will only see these mini-posts in a reader or in the little box called “Status Updates” at the top center of my website. You can read them all if you click on the“Status Updates” link on my right sidebar, but they don’t show up among the regular blog posts. I just wanted a replacement for Facebook.
