Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

Seen on my friends list:

Ideology is why you fall in love, naturally and sincerely and honestly, with someone of similar race and class and educational background. Ideology makes it so that millions of American women make individual decisions about their own personal happiness and take their husband's name. Ideology does not lie to you, it does not oppress you, it does not stifle you. It makes you want the Right Thing, and then you want it. It's not fake. It's not submission. You want it, you choose it, you feel good about it. Ideology is what makes it so that when you really sit down and consult your heart and do what feels right to you, it supports the system.
