Have men and women been fighting about infidelity since "Quest for Fire" days? What drove the "Isle of Lesbos" to become an active gal's community with rent control? We know the Spartans saw their women only on weekends, even if they weren't fighting in their S&M leather briefs. The Little Rascals had the "He Man Women Haters Club." Now even the "House Hunters" TV show has the husband looking for a room to be his "Man Cave" while the wife is the first to agree with him.
What scares me most is that we live in a time when Donny Deutsch is speaking on behalf of all "Men" and Kathy Lee and Hoda are representing the other side! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? How about shifting our focus to just surviving together before we end up living the Mad Max lifestyle.
Are these the bad old new days? We now have i-pads. Oh yeah, THAT will be easy to put in your pocket. It's invention scares me most because it could bring back "The Man Purse." I don't care if European men carry them.
Technology is flourishing to levels beyond comprehension, and yet "Feed the Children" is still in business... What? There's a cauldron brewing with new or not so new problems bubbling up. Imitation may be flattering but I find it uncreative and very copycat-ish.
I'm speaking of the Fall of the Roman Empire. The similarities are as close as the "Olsen Twins".
The Empire had problems starting with their Republican days, need I say more. There was no budgetary system and the economy tanked based on stealing (yes Mr. Madoff I didn't forget you). They used up all resources rather than produce anything new. Does "Made in China" ring a bell? Taxes, Small farms went belly up and nothing to export. Military defense costs, economic failure and social order going down the drain. Excuse me AIG and spitting politicians? There was natural crisis, public disasters and we had Katrina and "Hotel Superdome." The invasion of alien religious ideas (L.Ron Hubbard...can you hear me?). They had border problems and religious hopes and fears. We have fences in Texas and priest's teaching deaf boys. There were Barbarians and Huns (I love Hun references) and we have "Snooki and Jon Gosselin." The likeness is building up worse than dental plaque!
Are you with me? Where do we go from here? What's left to duplicate?
Maybe next we should change the Finian's Rainbow's song to "How are things in Sodom and Gomorrah?" Is the new version of the Bubonic plague creeping around your favorite Caesar salad with grilled chicken? Hopefully not, lettuce has had a bad rap in the last few years.
We don't need to lay around all cozy and naked like John and Yoko but imagine if we try a little harder at just friendly cohabitation? If Armageddon is around the corner then I say be a little nicer and have the Velveeta ready for the final Mac & Cheese.
If it's not, eat in moderation!

I could begin everyday reading the brilliant writings of Mr. Dornan.
