Well -- apparently a mural at a Rhode Island high school has been teamed up pensive.

What was a perverse about this paint job what depicted a man's life scene there from youth to adulthood -- -- -- -- standing with a woman and a child.

Wedding rings above their heads.

I don't it's disgusting that mural was to be painted inside pilgrim high school but the young artist -- -- -- day.

Was told they're -- complaints apparently -- -- to reflect the life experiences of all the kids to school.

-- was only one complaint but the but today that's all it takes to eight get the offending art painted over which it was and why shouldn't it be.

Thinking that marriage is a life goal hasn't -- -- sex in the city settling down is for -- -- -- thinks it was the wedding rings religious undertones that was offensive that's the part that got paid over.

But later an official insisted that -- be returned to its original state whatever fact is we live at a time we're suggesting that a stable environment might be good.

Is now seen it's hurtful and it's hurtful because so many people don't live that way anymore.

Would -- questioned the mural with a -- to gays and towards kissing passionately over rainbow.

That's on the ceiling of my bonus room and I had no complaints which leads me to my real point if you want traditional families to survive it's time bee champion and as an alternative lifestyle.

Make it sound and G rebellious and different.

Because these days it's true.

Definitely have to explain the bonus room.

You don't opponents -- I kind of do -- and we had this discussion in the break one day but I'm sure most people look what.

A bonus -- was what a real estate agent tells you to get you to buy a house and it's a room that you don't need.

They got a lot over here would -- the bonus round.

It's usually a windowless room to invent the new York and yeah you know -- you -- -- studio apartment is the bonus round.

The -- -- outside.

Where the homeless ghostly -- this clause if -- closet.

Still -- this this seventy year old girl I have accomplished this role little -- for commenting on what she thought she was doing.

But I feel bad because I didn't mean -- -- and the -- that's just how I viewed.

-- going on but after college you get a job and get settle down.

And that is outraged it.

-- -- -- I mean about -- first on the story around and I was reading -- waiting for the catch the I was like OK and then there was like some subliminal message and then there was something instead.

It was just she wanted -- I've.

Was the American -- but you'll.

Even if it even if it's not the American dream for everybody the fact that what a single complaint.

Like everything that thing is immune -- Then -- whining.

Are complaining got -- we called the school we can hear back from them but they at least somebody stood up Erica said.

But let it go even though so it was beautiful -- I'm sure there wasn't that.

A message we're talking to me -- it into its member.

It's there was guidance of the picture the five he painted a member guest that we look at we're gonna we're gonna show what -- Cameron also we look.

And in the mirror in the -- there was like a drone flying the World Trade Center and like you could barely see in America we almost rustling at the wrong I remember that's that.

If you have the point that out.

My screen favor it really didn't impact.

That that you.

It drives you crazy about this is it looks like she actually knew she was doing and takes of these artistic like that and just sort of -- -- what she does like that.

At that was in there about me we got tested with a wedding rings and in the horsepower.

Thought I.

Don't yeah.

But -- -- I don't think is a good idea is sakes let's stop at the variance of the wedding rings and this idea really -- she happened in my case was I got four drop as a professional golf wife got -- half a million -- We used -- here's the thing I would -- to -- a quick bit yet it's it seems to be rude to say that intact families.

Are good because there's so many families that aren't intact should that prevents you from actually saying beneficial.

-- what they're saying all the sudden marriage has become somehow offensive and we're having these national dialogues which are crazy.

About -- whose feelings for hurting by talking about -- looks single motherhood single parent families.

Very courageous and among the toughest jobs in the country but it's the quickest path and this is statistically proven to poverty.

Being alone anyone who can do it to be applauded but we should not be somehow glorifying that it's somehow an easy task and I.

And I demonizing marriage company -- -- your efforts he and his parents do they they're your problem minute now.

And -- I keep them quiet I had a couple hot I mean I -- -- -- you guys attacking -- -- all of a sudden this Saturday married okay all right coming up.

We discuss the latest and Alec Baldwin's alleged stalker its stories of shocking that it the world wallabies say that's when -- -- Believe now I wanna -- you -- dance party next Saturday.

Okay.
