It seems that Ms Boxer has forgotten her roots. She after all was a vocal opponent of marriage and child rearing back in the years that women saw fit to burn their bras in the street. I have NO qualms with women burning their bras and then being told that marriage is unfit for progessive women. However Ms Boxer should praise Ms Rice since she has followed the ultimate success route for the 60's & 70's woman. She has never been married, has achieved accolades unknown too many men, plus she did this while growing up in an age where segregation was the norm.
My owwwww my how was all that possible without government there to hold her hand. This lady could earn millions in the private sector as any business would be ecstatic to list her as a board member or any such position.
Ms Boxer you are completely unhinged and should be removed from any further hearing on this matter.

BOXER'S LOW BLOW
January 12, 2007 -- Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, an appalling scold
from California, wasted no time yesterday in dragging the debate over
Iraq about as low as it can go - attacking Secre tary of State
Condoleezza Rice for being a childless woman.
Boxer was wholly in character for her party - New York's own two
Democratic senators, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton, were
predictably opportunistic - but the Golden State lawmaker earned special
attention for the tasteless jibes she aimed at Rice.
Rice appeared before the Senate in defense of President Bush's tactical
change in Iraq, and quickly encountered Boxer.
"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price," Boxer said.
"My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young."
Then, to Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I
understand it, with an immediate family."
Breathtaking.
Simply breathtaking.
We scarcely know where to begin.
The junior senator from California apparently believes that an
accomplished, seasoned diplomat, a renowned scholar and an adviser to
two presidents like Condoleezza Rice is not fully qualified to make
policy at the highest levels of the American government because she is a
single, childless woman.
It's hard to imagine the firestorm that similar comments would have
ignited, coming from a Republican to a Democrat, or from a man to a
woman, in the United States Senate. (Surely the Associated Press would
have put the observation a bit higher than the 18th paragraph of a
routine dispatch from Washington.)

imagine your a citizen of Utopia
Just suppose you lived in a country that was ruled by a tyrannical government(this could be anywhere) we'll call this mystical place Utopia. You along with the millions of people that live in Utopia have become accustomed to the tyrannical government, after all you can't fight for your independence this just isn't done any longer. Besides those that try to protest come up missing in the middle of the night.
At some point the ruling force of the universe declares the government and the leaders of Utopia not to be in lockstep with the universal dictates of the controlling force.
The appointed representatives of the controlling force declare via resolutions that your tyrannical government isn't in compliance with the universal edict and has allowed via this resolution a military force to conquer your government to FORCE complaince.
A nation twice the size of yours we'll call it Freedonia has decided that a military invasion would be a good course to bring about compliance. In the backrooms of the controlling universal force plans are drawn up to accomplish this feat in order to assure universal compliance with everything that is deemed just. Utopia just can't be allowed not to comply with the universal force.
At some certain time the universal force grows tired of waiting for voluntary compliance(as if there is such a thing)and gives Utopia a deadline to comply. During this timeframe the nation of Freedonia has determined that your nation has weapons of which it isn't allowed to have(I guess this is determined by the universal force) and that your government helped orchestrate an attack on Freedonia which caused the loss of thousands of lives(they determined this in a matter of a month or more of investigations)
The peoples of Freedonia are whipped into a frenzy that a retaliatory strike must be done immediately or as soon as the FACTS are known. During the investigation the government of Freedonia determine that this attack had taken years to plan out and execute. They also determine that many of the attackers were from Sandia, a small nation in the outer quadrant with natural resources in abundance. Sandia supplies Freedonia with much oleum ore, a rich mineral which fuels the engines of commerce universally.
When Freedonia decides to attack Utopia do you allow it to happen??
Do you fight for your possesions and your family??
Do you allow the invading force to conquer your government so the universal force can install a government of their choosing?
I ask these questions to get your responses to see how YOU determine what is going to happen in Utopia.
This isn't a far fetched scenario and the outcome could be contrary to what you may want.
