As men become older they are considered distinguished but women are considered as an old woman. Society has drilled it into heads that we must look young and beautiful. Flip through a print magazine and look at all the ads for beauty products designed to make us look younger, more beautiful, etc. There are beauty pageants for girls as young as 6 months based on beauty, no talent. These young girls wear more makeup than most adults, wear expensive dresses and use all kinds of hair attachments. This surely must foster the idea that personality and intelligent don't matter. There are even TV shows about these pageants. This all seems wrong to me. You really missed this one Troy.

I just stumbled upon your blog and needless to say it was a great discovery. You were one of my favorite teachers back in the day (in college in Poland). I have learned so much from you and I am quite nostalgic about those days... I am looking forward to reading you blog. Good luck with everything! Hi Troy,
