  3. From an episode of The Simpsons (Season 7, "Much Apu About Nothing") Springfield had just spent millions of dollars creating a highly sophisticated "Bear Patrol" in response to the sighting of a single bear the week before. • Homer: Not a bear in sight. The "Bear Patrol" is working like a charm! • Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad. • Homer: [uncomprehendingly] Thanks, honey. • Lisa: By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away. • Homer: Hmm. How does it work? • Lisa: It doesn't work. (pause) It's just a stupid rock! • Homer: Uh-huh. • Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you? • Homer: (pause) Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

  4. “Denmark’s Social Research Inst says single fathers are calmer and less likely to punish their children than lone mothers...” • [1200 kids, 3-5, half with only mom, half with dad] • Moms more stressed & depressed, less self-confident, more nightmares & insomnia, more conflict with kids, quicker to hit or punish ... • not because of genetics, but less money (jobless or underpaid)

  5. What caused what?: Being single mom caused poverty & stress? Or poverty & stress caused single parent to be Mom?
