Seriously?!?

Why is it that "nameless" people can have the same ideas that I have and make a million dollars, yet when I have something to say, my ideas go unnoticed? What the hell? Am I totally useless, do I have absolutely nothing to say unless someone else says it first? I knew that the housing bubble was going to happen, I knew that the economic "meltdown" was happening", I knew that unemployment/underemployment was happening, yet no one listened. Just because I am a female, under the age of 40 doesn't mean that I am an idiot! I don't have a degree, buy I have managed to run a family for the last 13 years. I have managed to be a grieving parent, and am still an involved parent, and a taxpayer and student in the last 3 years. What the Heck?! Just because I didn't pay a billion dollars for a degree at a fancy schmancy University doesn't mean that I am stupid! I am smart, and guess what? I do all the grocery shopping for my family, and I pay all the bills that come in, regardless of who's name is on the paycheck that happens to pay those bills. Just because I have a vagina, and not a penis, doesn't mean that I am an idiot, like the conservatives would like to think. I am a smart, loving, independent woman, who happens to manage ALL the money that goes in and our of our home. So...get used to it!
