MI: Local Rally for Father's Rights
Local Rally for Father's Rights
http://www.wlns.com/Global/story.asp...5&nav=5D7vUKIP 12/17/04- Mid-Michigan fathers rallied at the Capitol,hoping to raise awareness about joint custody. The fathers say the Michigan system is unfairly biased against them. The fathers say kids need a dad to be present in their lives. According to census data,there are about 20-million single-parent homes in America, but only 3.3 million of those are single-father homes. So right now, just 1 of every 6 single-parent families is led by a father. It's a stat that has some mid-Michigan fathers hoping for the chance to do more. Fathers came to the Capitol dressed for the holidays, but mindful that for yet another holiday season-access to their children will be limited. Darren Binkley: "My children suffer tremendously, because they don't get a chance to see their father." Darren Binkley is just 1 of many fathers who'd like to see some changes made. Binkley says he doesn't get enough access to his kids. Darren Binkley: "There's no way I can be a father just a few days out of the month. It's a full-time job." And since Binkley only gets to be there for part of the time, he feels like he's missing out in the life of his children. Darren Binkley: "It's the little things like tucking them in at night and getting up and taking them to school. If you're not there, how are you involved?" And involvement, the fathers say, isn't just important for them, but for their children as well. Darren Binkley: "If there's not a father in a child's life, they have a better chance of ending up on drugs or getting pregnant. If the father is involved, there's a lot better chance of succeeding in life." While the fathers are currently fighting from limited access, they still have hope, and they say it starts by changing the way courts operate. Darren Binkley: "We need to get the courts out of the lives of our families where they are micro-managing what happens from day to day." The fathers also sent State legislators a draft of a law they'd like to see passed in the next term. They say the potential legislation would put mothers and fathers on more-equal footing in custody dispute cases. One local probate judge says mothers and fathers already get equal treatment in the courtrooms. While more mothers eventually get custody, Judge R. George Economy says each case is handled on an individual basis, and that neither the mother nor the father gets special considerations. Hon. R. George Economy, Ingham Co. Probate Judge: "What's going to benefit the children, and I'm not looking at parents, so much as looking at the child and determining what's in their best interest." Judge Economy says many factors are considered during any custody dispute. He says the child's choice is 1 of the most important considerations, but he also says the court evaluates which parent is better able to give love and affection, as well as which parent has the means to provide food, clothing and medical care. --------------------------------------------------------- "The most terrifying words in the English language a I'm from the government and I'm here to help." --- Ronald Reagan |

most people, surrogate activities are less
satisfying than the pursuit of real goals ( that is, goals that people would want to attain even if their need for the power process were already fulfilled). One indication of this is the fact that, in many or most cases, people who are deeply involved in surrogate activities are never satisfied, never at rest. Thus the money-maker constantly strives for more and more wealth. The scientist no sooner solves one problem than he moves on to the next. The long-distance runner drives himself to run always farther and faster. Many people who pursue surrogate activities will say that they get far more fulfillment from these activities than they do from the "mundane" business of satisfying their biological needs, but that it is because in our society the effort needed to satisfy the biological needs has been reduced to triviality. More importantly, in our society people do not satisfy their biological needs AUTONOMOUSLY but by functioning as parts of an immense social machine. In contrast, people generally have a great deal of autonomy in pursuing their surrogate activities. have a great deal of autonomy in pursuing their surrogate activities. AUTONOMY 42. Autonomy as a part of the power process may not be necessa |

Again you prove your ignorance of basic things such as reading headers. The post in question didn't come from an anonymous remailer. This message was posted via one or more anonymous remailing services. The original sender is unknown. Any address shown in the From header is unverified. Gee Davey I didn't say it DID come from a remailer.. I just pointed out that the GUILTY PARTY would be a CREEP who posts via anonymous remailers and is a pathetic littler internet STALKER.. Thanks for confessing. Now what IS that service in SINGAPORE? What I said it was. And DIP**** - - I did NOT say it was a remailer. Now - asshole, don't you have an appointment to go beat up your wife or something MACHO MAN? |
