I grew up in a household where there were really, really strong matriarchal characters. I think that's true of many Asian households.

The men often become very useless.

When WWII ended, the Cold War started, and the interest of the Western world was not to completely break Germany.

Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.
Philip K. Dick

The right tends to posit that the market fuels social good. The left tends to posit that the government fuels social good.
