I've always meant to--I have more willingness than knowledge--but how cool!

Sorry you have that experiance with women in it. I am going to my states Nurses Association convention this month. I was talking to a nurse so anti-Union my jaw dropped--she was from Canada originally, and had bad experiences apparently, I briefly explained what unionizing did for our profression (as well as mention the US is NOT Canada) and it was like she couldn't hear me. Whoosh, was the sound of my points going over her head. I finally told her she sounded scared from her experiance, and she acknowledged she was.
