Now that it's Ok, even required, that fathers be in the delivery room, participate in their children's upbringing, (which brings me much joy), I find that the new regime is every bit as oppresive as the ancien regime, except that I happen to agree more with the new one. But, may the heavens protect me, should I/we revert to the old role models, such as my wife getting drugs during delivery, or doing chores around the house that are sex-role defined. e.g. I do the work on the cars and the plumbing, and she does the shopping. Oh well, we can't all make it to heaven, the kind that the Movement kids grown up have designed for the rest of us. -- -- Philip Burton, Fortune Systems, 101 Twin Dolphin Drive, Redwood City, CA 94065 (415) 595-8444 x 526 {allegra,ucbvax!amd70,cbosgd,harpo,hpda,ihnp4,sri-unix}!fortune!burton
