Greetings and salutations Gentle Readers,

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 :->).
