Disbanding of Moral Majority

Golly Gee! I was just reading in the newspaper today (Part I, June 12), that Jerry Falwell and those faithful followers of his, the Immoral Minority, oops, I mean the Moral Majority, have decided to disband their flock. Well shucks, now there won’t be any respectable religious cults to give our life savings to! Jeepers! I just thought of something else!

As a mere woman, I won’t get to have some male authority figures telling me how to live my personal life. Oh, I know, that they have also sinned, but it’s the wicked women who are to blame for their downfall, so that doesn’t count. Needless to say, who’s going to tell us what books to read, what television shows and movies to watch? Who’s going to invade our bedrooms, tell us what to do with our bodies, and that our place is in the home, and that’s why we don’t need day care!

Wait! A thought just popped into my small female brain--we don’t need Falwell or that saintly Michigan housewife for that! We have President George Bush, and who’s that guy we don’t see much of? Oh yes, Dan Quayle, and, of course, the Supreme Court, to do all that for us.
