Of course, some people have a strong hostility to alternate viewpoints, and thus are poor candidates to having their conciousnesses raised. This can be as true of a radical feminist as it is of any male chauvinist. It's a pity; a life that is invulnerable to change is hardly worth living. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
