I could have been born anyone, anywhere, i lucked out to be American, {until the Bush's came along, although the last one was absolutely UnAmerican}, fortunately born at a time when women had some status, but just not enough to allow for the future i now see for young women, and am grateful for my grand girls that they can be anyone-- they will need to b, as sharp as they are and the grand guys, they will all be able to be true participants in the raising of their families as well as in the workplace---> i am hoping Obama sends a strong signal that every one counts and that business interests do not trump human interests.
