Co., Everett, WA Lines: 15 Xref: 513 698 I almost feel bad because this is the second reply I've made to this discussion but: If women recieve the same yearly benefits from a retirement plan after *investing* the same amount into said plan as a man then I don't want to deal with that insurance company. Pension plans are based on life expectancy not sexual equality. Of course, by the time our generation reaches *the golden years* male/female life expectancies may be nearly equal. I, too, dream of a time when our only percieved sexual differences are physical. Peter Barbee
