If Julie Andrews Married Michael Jackson

We had the DVD Mary Poppins in the mail when we returned from Russia. It’s our last DVD from Netflix at least for a while because of their new pricing. Glynnis Johns had a fun song relating to woman's suffrage—her excuse for abandoning her children to a nanny. The lyrics went something like this: "We love men individually, but as a group they are rather stupid."

In a group we will do things that we never would do as individuals.  I doubt that many of us have a great desire to drop bombs on strangers from 10,000 feet. Or evict widows from their homes. But when we have the state as our master, we do what we are told.
