Could a sex strike stop men from fighting?

Last night I was watching  the pix news and they had a story on there that caught my eye. I'm not sure exactly where it is. I was trying to find the story on line but I'm not sure I found the exact one. 
I did find a few similar stories about the same thing.
The story was about some village women who wanted to trade their goods with a near by village. But with the road between the villages being very dangerous because the men folk were always battling with the men folk the other village it was next to impossible to trade goods. 
So the women came up with a plan to withhold sex until the men stop fighting. It worked. The men stopped fighting and the road became safe again and the economies of both villages improved.

I think this a great idea. Most wars are fought because of men being overly macho. 

I asked a few people at work if they have ever withheld sex till they got their way. The answers were about as expected from some.
Some said no they never had.
Some said you bet I have.
Sometimes a got a good laugh when I asked them the question.
Most of the guys so far have said their wives have never used sex in that way.( That they know of. lol)
Some guys said it was used allot by their wives.
One guy said he has uses it to get his way with his wife.

Looking on the internet this has happened a number of times through out history. I'm not sure how successful they have all been but I think it's really something that should be given allot more thought. 
Sometimes women had even gotten prostitutes to stop their trade for awhile so the men had no where to turn until they improved things around them.

Maybe the spouses of all those politicians should consider doing it when things get stuck in committee or what ever excuse they use to not get the job done that needs to be done, when it needs to be done.
Just a pondering thought for the day.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
