Unfortunately, it does seem that we have to guarantee these sorts of rights. Generally, if we believe in something so strongly, we put it into writing of some sort.

If we think women's rights are so important, then we should have no problem putting this down for the record. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry C.
