Thanks David,

I have no problem with the geographic point, but If our best choice is a 
woman then what is the problem?  To me, the one of whom we have the 
greatest confidence is who will serve our joint interests best.  I look 
to the minds and hearts of those I support.  There are still bigots in 
the world and surely that will continue to need addressing.  Though 
often hidden from view.  If the females of the world are to be our 
leaders because they have the right stuff, we are better for that.  Are 
men afraid of loosing their machismo?

Sorry for the rant, but I see this gender thing as demeaning to those 
who have worked to get to the position which they have rightfully earned.

Respectfully,

Lou
