Not only did the person who drew the diagram draw 25% of the figures as women to supposedly represent the 35% of the work force that women comprise, but the women in the drawing were drawn CLOSER TOGETHER than the men, making them look like an even smaller portion of the total. -- David Canzi "With the exception of victimless crimes (which need not concern us here) every single crime committed in this nation of ours involves a victim." -- San Francisco Chronicle
