Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 31, 2011

Why not - everyone in the country seems to think they can write a better constitution lately!

Danae always seems to learn the wrong lessons.

But who has actually drafted the same. I’m looking forward to Danae’s draft.

Danae - the Dark Side of Education

Kate - the Light Side of Education

Eric Idle - “The Bright Side of Life”

Danae —-the “Thinker”—good for her!.

She’s only expressing what’s been in the news for quite some time.

How come Joe is doing women’s work? I thought he had a girlfriend or something… Did she already leave him?

“Women’s work”? Oh, man, you are so busted. :)

Hopefully he dumped Victoria, she had issues.

They are coming up on 250 years old. Must be way past time for a modern update.

Victoria had issues? :)

miswartz_99, I’m a man and I do womens work. I don’t want to pay for the maid.

“Women’s Work” I thought that was gathering grain and pounding it on a rock. Labor saving devices, Hmph? Why’d you drag her home in the first place? Thank God for Super Bowl Sunday to keep the servants in their place.

Ladies, Lewreader had to suddenly move to parts unknown. Send mail C/O French Foreign Legion.

Have a nice trip Lew, I am sure you will be happier there. :-)

Robert Kennedy - “There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”

love Danae in the third panel………

a little spring in her step and a wry smile

Oh, I can’t wait for Danae’s additions. These should be good.

The strip is called “Non sequitir”. There is no point following it to find out what happens with Victoria, or the Eckert, or Eddie, or anyone. It does not flow anywhere, because it’s one non-sequitir after another.

Dad’s hair was white yesterday. He must have gone to the salon early today. @Lewreader, LOL

Aaaghh! A vacuum cleaner.

Is she somehow related to Darth Vader?

Well, its about time someone added to the bill. A smart man, tried, but died before he could do it, and the shame is OURS.

From wikipedia: The Second Bill of Rights was a list of rights proposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the then President of the United States, during his State of the Union Address on January 11, 1944.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

Americas own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.

For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.

Following FDR’s death in 1945, his wife, Eleanor, led the effort towards international acceptance of numerous elements of FDR’s Second Bill of Rights, incorporated into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations in 1948. These rights were then expanded further by The International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, which was ratified by 142 nations as of 2003. Paradoxically, the United States, where the Second Bill of Rights originated, has not yet signed that Covenant.

Furthermore, the commitment to economic and social rights throughout the world is manifested by their inclusion in the constitutions of numerous countries. And the European Social Charter, signed by 24 European countries, establishes such rights as the right to work for fair remuneration, health care and social security.

The dark side of education is when just enough is learned to be dangerous.

Speaking of education, thanks, Furbitor! I don’t think the Republicans got the memo, though. (Sorry, Wiley!)

i believe Dad is a cartoonist. at least he hardly does anything creative so…

Knowledge is Power Power Corrupts

So, Study hard. Be Evil.

Danae and Darkseid. Superman would be toast.

Don’t think Canada has signed either. Sadly our current PM doesn’t even believe in Freedom of the Press. :(

Thanks for a wonderful lesson Furbitor – would that it had come true!! But alas, this is America where guns, abortion, gay rights and religion are sooooooo much more important than the civil rights of all of us.
