Well, I don't know anyone Victoria I killed anyone, although she and Albert did
manage to come up with a lot of children.

What a lot of tripe you've been brought up on.  Women weren't "given" the vote.
And here were many men and women who urged for temperance that were sincere 
and had no ties to the mafia.

Does this mean you're only going to talk to the male feminists when you deal
with feminist organizations?  Or will you only deal with the women against 
your will.

You want everyone to deal with you as an individual and not like other
males (such as, say, Hitler or Genghis Khan), and yet you're more than
willing to lump all feminist women together!

You spewed a lot of garbage in your posting.  Is this what comes out of mit-vax
these days?  I'm embarassed for us all.
