Six years ago, when I ran for Congress, I said "Diversity is a bunch of crap and un-American. People should be judged, hired and promoted based on their character, talent, work and achievement". When you get into these arguments about gender. When you say Pennsylvania is a backward state because it never elected a woman Governor, when you say it is time for Pennsylvania to elect a woman Governor, you are really raising questions like this:

Are professional basketball and football teams bad because they don't have Asian players? Why are there so few Jews? Why are there so few white on those teams? It comes down to people in this country are free to do what they want to do, regardless of what your race or sex is. Professional sports offer great opportunities for poor Black men to achieve fame, wealth and success. And so you see far more Black men working, training, and competing for positions on professional sports teams than whites, Asians or others.

And if you want to talk about playing the violin in a major orchestra, you find that far more Asian women take an interest in that specialty. That is why the string section of most major orchestras in America are made of Asian women. There's nothing wrong with that.

If you want to know why there aren't more women as Governors in some of these states, you have to ask, "How many women are attracted to politics?" Or "How many women are attracted to law or other professions or doing some of the awful stuff you need to do to be successful in politics?" How many Margaret Thatchers are there?  How many Golda Meirs are there?  So if you say we have to pick a woman, when only a handful of women compete for these positions, you are likely to end up with a less qualified candidate, and that is exactly what happened with Kamala Harris.

It's not a matter of whether you are for women or against women. Everybody knows that Kamala Harris got as far as she got because she is a woman, and not because of her character, talent or qualifications. That is why she is far less qualified than men who competed for her position.

That's how the world works. If you want to hire a fire fighter, you want a big strong man who can pull a victim out of a burning building. You don't want a 5 foot 2 woman weighing 110 pounds to do that job. So you have to judge by talent, achievement and things like that, not race, sex or any other category in a diversity box.

In fact, when you keep hiring less qualified women or minorities for positions because you want to promote diversity, you put the spotlight on them. By doing that, you make things worse and reinforce negative stereotypes.

Grandparents are playing a bigger part in raising their grandchildren.  When Boomers like me grew up in 1950s, our grandparents just showed up once in a while and said hello and played with us a little.  But now that we are grandparents, we find that our children in Generation X and Millennial...
