And working women are likewise responsible for homosexuality, drug abuse, teenage crime, unwanted pregnancies, satanism, theft, fraud, tax evasion, fire, flood, earth- quake, drought, lingering bunions...but I digress. I suppose that if hemlines dropped about a foot, the economy would improve? Would a ban on tube-tops halt the arms race? If the Bar Assn banned women attorneys, we could end world hunger? Yes, Myrtle Phillips, YOU can SAVE THE WORLD! Just quit your job, go home to your estranged husband, dress plain and modestly, say "A woman's place is in the home" three times, and the world will suddenly be a better place to live. For men. But not for women, or those who care about them. -fini- "Reason is Peace; -Eric Fanaticism is Slavery; ...!ucla-cs!mccolm Tolerance is Strength."
