If things had been different
The human control of this world might have been far different if, when the creation myth was orated, Eve was born before Adam. The point from when Adam was made from a rib from Eve’s side would have, from the beginning of time, signaled female leadership that would be different in many ways. Would it be better, who knows? But it very well could have brought a far different direction to how things are at this point in time.
There is no reason this could not have happened. We know there are important differences between the female and male powers of reasoning and how they each deal with different issues in life.
We know no woman has started a single mega faith based religion that has stood the test of time. We know that females are viewed as less important in positions of leadership, and that physical strength takes precedence over mental strength throughout the ages. But even in today’s age, we put great importance on having a leader who has superior intelligence to deal with all the very complicated issues of the times, and the problems faced.
We know that females have been held down mostly from the wrong reasoning — that her mind and body functions and deals with issues differently than a male. The populations have been sold a bill of goods that this is some great disqualifier for the female gender in the past, and still is!
But when the female is give equal status and opportunities, their rate of success is proven to be just as good and even better in many areas that denote sound leadership decision making.
The female gender has shown over and over the mental toughness equal to any males. They have shown in many areas and even greater degree of competence than their male counterparts.
We only have to look back in history to view the workloads of the female sector to see the amount of physical work they have contributed to the well being of the masses. The raising of the young, something of great importance to any growing group, is nearly entirely done by that gender.
Just look in Nature to see the level of participation that the males contribute compared to the female who takes on the majority of tasks to have a healthy family and social group survive. The root cause of today’s long abused discrimination, as to wages, property rights, control over their own bodies, levels of education, etc., has been caused by the thinking that male importance was greater then the female.

Answerable for actions
I am writing in response to the “Shame on You Joan Moss” letters received and published that scolded me for informing the public about active civil lawsuits that involve Supervisor Rob Brown as defendant.
I am pleased that these letters were published because they give me a chance to share recent thoughts I’ve had regarding Supervisor Rob Brown.
I attended settlement hearings in court regarding Sanders vs. Rob Brown, and Kimberly Brown vs. Rob Brown, and I am alleging that Rob Brown could have mediated, settled, and the CV claims would no longer be active.
Some people will not admit it when they do anything wrong. Could Rob Brown be one of those people?
It is sad when parties in legal suits refuse to mediate.
Elected officials are answerable to the public for their actions. The Record-Bee has copies of the three claims I mentioned in my original letter to the editor. I am writing about facts, available on the fourth floor of the Lake County Courthouse, not rumors or innuendo. I believe the public has the right to know all the facts about their elected officials.
Rob Brown made a verbal personal attack on Phil Murphy October 20, 2015, during a public meeting. [Editor’s note: Both Brown and Murphy became equally involved in a verbal dispute during a meeting. To label it a “personal attack” is an allegation]. That verbal attack violated his code of ethics as a Lake County Supervisor. Supervisor Rob Brown needs to treat the public in a respectful manner.
