With all the outsourcing these companies are doing, we may have little choice but to work from home if we're going to survive. As for the environment, telecommuting may improve it some. My gasoline bill has been cut in half since I quit my job. Excellent points, Melly. :) It wouldn’t surprise me to see a mass exodus from the corporate world over the next twenty years.

My problem is that the encouragement is towards women alone. I know many men (dads) who would love to work from home given the opportunity. Not to mention that the more people work from home, the less people are driving cars and the better for the environment. I think people, men and women, should be encouraged to work from home.

I remember the days when all they did was report the news. In my state, it's almost impossible to have a single-income family unless the breadwinner has a high salary ($200K+ per year). Two friends of mine do housekeeping so they can stay home with their kids. Parents are finding more creative ways to earn their income due to constant corporate downsizing. The healthcare expenditures are outrageous. I read this one article last week about how pharmaceutical companies are upping the prices of drugs that have been around for decades. It's pure greed.

We need to find a good balance. Here, here. It seems that extremism has become "the norm" in this nation. I think this is driven, in part, by the media, which makes everything seem like a crisis. On a side note, I think lots of parents, including some men, would love to stay home with their little ones. But for many it just isn't economically feasible. The rising cost of health care (coverage) is certainly one big factor. >Too much liberalism or conservatism is a bad thing. We need to find a good balance.

They've been doing this for quiet some time. We just didn't see it until the Thought Police started shooting their mouths off. Too much liberalism or conservatism is a bad thing.

It is truly frightening to see so many rights being trampled. Your grandpa was a wise man! LOL I'm hoping we are near the farthest edge of the righ-pendulum swing, and will begin inching back to the center soon. Thanks for the link hon.
