Okay, so the part about labor terrified me. Is it really that bad? Let me put it this way: I remember being in a certain point in labor and the pain is almost too much to bear. My mom is there, and my sister, and my sister-in-law and they've each had multiple children. I turn to them and say, "Does it get worse than this?" And they look at each other and say, "Don't tell her. No no no, don't tell her." And they all shake their heads and they won't tell...
...once piece of advice that people love to give and I'd seriously love for it to be outlawed. Parents go, "Oh, you'll be fine, you'll just sleep when the baby sleeps." I remember Leta being about two months old and someone said that to me. I almost punched her in the face. It's not possible.

And then you have Darcy, on the other side, who's a pompous and privileged guy. And you say, all right, he's a pompous and privileged slayer. And that's how they battle it out with each other...
...issue of protectionism is a good deal more tricky. The leaders will make a good show of keeping trade barriers low, but if the economy keep getting worse. the reality may not match the talk. The US government, although it is considered more liberal on trade than almost any country in the world, may be pushed in the direction of restricting commerce with other nations if the other nations act first. Obama faces the problem of having a Congress which will generally support him. But, when a Representative's district is losing jobs because of the dumping of Japanese steel...
