Pennsylvania Miners All Safe Solving a Boston Housing Crisis

Pennsylvania Miners All Safe

We were all thrilled when the nine Pa. men come out of their coal mine alive. But the Boston Globe couldn't bear to remind us that the brave miners - and their rescuers were all men. Not a woman in the bunch.

The Globe kept referring to the men yesterday as "miners" over and over, not once using the word "men" to change the boring prose. They used the word "miners" in 19 of the 35 paragraphs, never once using "men" in any paragraph.

We all know that men and women are equally strong and necessary in any society, but only the extreme feminists believe the sexes are fungible and interchangeable. We all know that women don't belong in a mine, and the women also agree because you don't see any of them applying there. (There probably is one somewhere that someone will tell us about.)

It's just another example that men and women are different. They are not the same. And children do better when they have both - a mother and a father to raise them.

Solving a Boston Housing Crisis

Only in Boston would we solve the housing crisis by driving even more investors out of the business. But that's what the Globe wants to do.

It thinks we should bring back rent control which forces the investors to price their apartments below their costs. Will that help the crisis or worsen it? Will we see more people putting their money into building new apartments or will we see less of it?

It's almost as though the Globe wishes to stop all private ownership of buildings and have everyone in public housing. Is that what they really want? Is that how socialism will arrive?
