I hate to be the bearer of bad news, or good news (depending on your sex :->), but Dr. Joyce Brothers was not talking about the United Staes in general, where she was talking about, I don't know its location. The ratio eventually only evens out at about the age of 34, not 23 (for the average white male). Take a look at the census books. The figues of 300 to 100 are (if I remember correctly) right at about the age of 60 or so. Dr. Joyce Brothers also, in my opinion, seems to have a somewhat 'chauvanistic' (sp) attitude about males. I seem to get the impression that she thinks most males are weak, and able (just barely) to care for thier own bodies, much less anything else. If I am wrong, I invite any and all to crtisize me (as I am sure you will be happy to do :->). Ken Hollis
