BRILLIANT MEN, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND HIGHLY INTELLIGENT CHILDREN CLAIM KENTUCKY AS THEIR HOME OF ORIGIN
Kentucky – land of fast women and beautiful horses. The fact is that Kentucky has produced more great men than anywhere else on earth. You may say that I am biased about my beautiful homeland of Kentucky, where the women are strong, the men are handsome and all the children are above average.

I became skeptical of the female gender due mostly to our family having lived together with my grandmother and grandfather. My mother wasn’t allowed to do more than exist from day to day because my grandmother was the boss. My father was in my presence about 1% or less of the time until he retired when I was 18 years old and ready to leave for the U. S. Army. I was influenced by the “dominance” of my grandmother even though I didn’t think of it that way at the time. As an adult, I see things differently than when I was a child. There are positive as well as negative influences, all determined within the one being influenced. I evidently have chosen the negative view.

One day when I was 8 years old my grandmother and me were walking towards downtown and saw a lady who was approaching on the same side of the street as ourselves. My grandmother was holding my hand and upon sight of my friend Elizabeth Belcher, we quickly crossed the street. I asked her why we crossed the street because I liked Elizabeth and I’d known her all my life. I did not know that Elizabeth and her husband Delbert were in process of getting a divorce, a word I wouldn’t have understood anyway.
My grandfather was a Baptist Minister who pastored a church located across the street from our home. Because of this situation I generally trusted my grandparents to always do and say the right thing because of my grandfather’s unique position between man and God (THAT’S WHAT MY GRANDMOTHER APPARENTLY THOUGHT). My grandmother said that she would not walk on the same side of the street with a divorced woman. At the time I didn’t understand the word or concept of divorce. I only knew I liked Elizabeth, who had always treated me with respect and kindness. It was then that I began to see flaws within the religious thinking of people and I wanted no part of that picture. I knew it was wrong then and I have not changed my mind. I remember asking my grandfather when we returned home if that was the “right thing” for us to have done. He disagreed with my grandmother’s actions and that caused a rift between him and my grandmother who really did rule the roost, so to speak. Even though women didn’t wear pants back then, she wore the pants in that household. I thought of him as a wise man and still do. I think of my grandmother as a typical hypocrite, indicated by her view of herself as being one of God’s ambassadors who should be contacted daily in order for her to have the opportunity to tell God how to manage the day. I know a few more people like that and unfortunately a few are located in Kentucky. And I’m proud to say that there is a bill presently before the Kentucky Legislature to have them deported to Illinois or another bordering state. My mother was the most kind person I’ve ever been privileged to be associated. She was forced to remain in the background as concerns the raising of us children for the majority of our childhood. Therefore, only after the death of my grandparents did she have an opportunity to be seen and heard. She was a truly wonderful human being even though she never had the ability or maybe the desire to show physical love as I think I would have preferred. Even though there was no physical touching, hugging, kissing or that type of interaction between my mother and myself, at least to the best of my knowledge and remembrance, I have nothing but positive feelings for her wisdom, good intentions and prowess.

She was taken from a big city, transplanted in a very poor part of the country side of Western Kentucky and never allowed to leave, even though she desperately wanted to at times. I know this because she later on in my adult life told me. She had been a professional ballet dancer in Mishawaka, Indiana as a younger lady. How on earth my father swept her off her feet and drug her to their old falling down house in Crofton, Kentucky I’ll never understand, but it happened. My father had been previously married, his wife having died leaving two children for him or somebody to raise. She says that when she first arrived, she attempted to reboard the bus and get back to Indiana as fast as she possibly could, but wasn’t allowed to do that. My grandparents were instrumental in insisting she remain in Kentucky. Having no money of her own, then or later on, she had no choice but to remain even though it was against her will for many years to come.

With the exceptions of my daughters, granddaughters, daughter in law and other family members and female friends, most women are much like horses – unpredictable, self centered and have no knowledge of reality or the ability to perceive or process logical thoughts. Being that I did not create anybody, I’ll just leave all that up to The Creator and just pass on through life as unnoticed as I can. I love women and I like horses. After all, my mother was a woman. Horses don’t like reigns. I think most women should come equipped with them already installed at birth. All good men should have knowledge of how to operate reigns.

My mother was from Kentucky...

and your right.....

Kentucky rocks!!!!!

OH NO! SOMEONE JUST THREW THE GLOVE DOWN ON TEXAS!


<---grabbing popcorn and large soda and a beach chair. This should be fun to watch!

what city in Kentucky lovely, sexy lady?

..dude like are you serious.most women are like horses..unpredictable self centered,have no knowledge of reality or the ability to perceive or process logical thought..i noticed how you excluded all your female family members and friends

..so why is that after all they are women ..perhaps it's because they have known the omniscient you..give me a break ..

..to me your logic seems slightly eschewed..to say the least... jmo


as far as "MOST" women ..well wouldn't you like have to "ALL" of them in order to make this assumption..now maybe most of the women you've met ..but then say so..but such a comment is unfounded..

..and most women should come equipped with reigns..hell might as well come with a saddle strapped on their back so we can ride them in the dirt..

..and by the way i live on the tenn kentucky border..and just a fact not all kentucky women are beautiful,not all their children are above average...and most definitely not all the men are brilliant..
