Is this true or what? You be the judge...

How does it feels to be a woman in the 21st Century?

In Kalamazoo, MI it is very terrible for me here. I was invited by schollarship and reduced to a baby making machine for married wealthy childless couples! I had to learn the hard way that justice is VERY social as is injustice and there is an abuse of all things! These people here are possibly not human and to cover all of their crimes against me they keep me poor and stalked! There is little help aside from their constant success at supression that apeases them and makes these sad excuses for humans comfortable that they will not be disclosed-along with my depleting spirit to fight them. This company town has defended itself well in covering their whimpsical destruction of my life for all I have managed is very little personal belongings and my sanity (this is probable good considering what they have done to me). There is great compensation in order but I can not do this alone as they have rendered me very alone indeed, they offer me their choices for me from time to time but you can imagine what thoes must be like now that you know what it's (they're) really like...yours truely, a 3rd generation white woman not doing well at all in Kalamazoo. -L. Kelly, MI

How do you celebrate your success and the success of others?

I am not allowed to succeed at anything! A mentally ill woman...will apear on any scene and compete and do anything (illegal, imorral...)to win! Even the little red car I reciently aquired had sugar put into the gas tank to ruin it so that the bimbo's with little red cars could stalk and drive by me...(this is a guess but I'm sure I am close). Every relationship has been destroyed, every job blocked, stollen or I'm harrassed out...everything! Even the latest step mom in the picture aquired a little red car after mine was destroyed and this was after she was driving a little white car(what I had wanted for quite some time allready...) These freaks are really like this and the crimes reported to appropriate authorities...to no avail in fact I am usually punished for reporting...I do not celebrate success, there is little to celebrate...staying sane in this nightmare one more day is all I get so far just to be put through it the next day...That's all there is, that's all they have to offer here and they won t let me have money...to responsibly move. -L. Kelly, MI

I know that my chances are not limited if I just apply myself. I can play poker just as well as any man can. I can work as hard as any man can. I am trying to find the future that is best for me and even though it is hard to find the right direction, knowing that I am a woman I can succeed. I do not depend on a man to take care of me. I believe that in society today relationships are 50/50. A woman can make the money in the household, a woman can pay for dinner, and a woman has every right to make crucial decisions. I believe a girl can go out and spoil a guy that she cares for just as much as the guy can. I know that with the way that my mother raised me I will be an outstanding woman in today's age. I respect myself as much as I do those around me. I look back and the past, I see the present, and I hope to be a part of an even more evolved future for women everywhere. -Cari L. O., PA
