Player #4446764, I wish we had another Abraham Lincoln for president. Even though Lincoln was a Republican! He was an awesome man.

submissive, loyal wives turning dictatorial when they become breadwinners? Give me a break! What a terrible example. So, don't let women work outside the home and keep them submissive or they'll turn tyrannical.

Player #9442102, the reference to women bread winners becoming " dictators" is badly expressed. Rewrite this response.

I agree to much power for a person or group of people is no good. To much adversity for the common good.
