***Americas Cup and Women< Have you also considered the fact that females must be more rational and logical due to the price they pay for selecting the wrong mate? Males can afford to be ruled by testosterone in terms of mating practices because they can just walk away. However, females must spend a tremendous amount of energy during gestation for each mating decision. Therefore they must control their hormonal urges, or pay the price. Consequently I feel females would make much better presidents, prime ministers, etc. What is your expert opinion on this most pressing question?>

Good points sir!

Now I see why New Zealand is the holder of the America's Cup and the boat full of girls didn't get anywhere. I think that's a good apostrophe, because the original boat was 'America' and it's that boat's cup.

New Zealand, being a good day ahead of the rest of the world, has recognized that principle and we have a woman Prime Minister, a woman leader of the opposition, a woman leading the Green Party, a woman leading Mana Motuhake [the apartheid party], a woman Chief Justice [the boss of all the judges], a woman running Telecom NZ [the biggest company], a woman running this that and the other. It's been a total takeover. Wars will never be the same, [yeah, right, you watch how women get to think, "hmm, this power stuff really does feel pretty good and anyway, who do they think they are - okay you guys, go get 'em".] But it won't be any worse and I'd say would probably be a lot better. See how even Poet was just abusive rather than aggressively violent like Jim Willie.

Women [averaged, not that you can do that] do seem to be better judges of character and generally are a lot less animalistic. In fact, it's quite a disadvantage being a male. I demand compensation and special treatment as a person with disability.

Well, I better knock off this because men/women stereotypes have been around for thousands of years and nobody's worked it out yet. Treating people as individuals seems to be the best way to decide things = more discrimination, not less. Treat women [and men] as humans, not C-Block privileged participants. [Yes, that's a boring serious comment for a change]

Anyway, in NZ, the women are running the country while the guys take their testosterone and competitiveness out into the yachts, golf courses and Web. Everyone's having fun that way. The women get to be the boss, which they like. The guys get to play while they wait to mature. Hence, the America's Cup is living here for now.

How come the markets are closed?
