She states there is "a special place in hell for women who don't help each other."</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Hah! That quote fits in nicely with my recent post.<BR/><BR/>I too, do not understand this need to celebrate what is superficial, such as "the first Asian astronaut", the first Latino-American bowling champion, etc. Celebrating Tiger Woods not because of his abilities but because of his ethnic makeup, is to still be fixated on skin color, by those who often quote Martin Luther King Jr. "not the color of their skin, but by the content of their character".The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-7962649869311272412008-01-18T22:31:00.000-06:002008-01-18T22:31:00.000-06:00Neither should be the first of either.Neither should be the first of either.Paul is a Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119019764545408730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-88990186707034471942008-01-18T14:37:00.000-06:002008-01-18T14:37:00.000-06:00"So why the big deal about the first woman and the..."So why the big deal about the first woman and the first black candidates?"<BR/><BR/>Seriously? Is this a personally felt question? I'm not being obnoxious, am asking from a place of intense curiousity.<BR/><BR/>There is one Republican candidate I might consider voting for this go around. Unfortunately, he hasn't a chance in hell of winning the nomination, and may not last the weekend.
