Amy, RE: Sr Bush actually said on CSPAN that women should stay at home with their children. I have never heard this. Did you personally listen to it, or did someone else inform you what he said? Do you have a link that talks about it? That seems highly out of character for him. Interestingly enough, Jr Bush wants to repeal the family medical act law - meaning, women cannot even take time off from work without pay. Not exactly true. Bush fils wants to repeal a law requiring companies to allow women to take time off from work without pay. Companies will still be free to have that policy if it fits their needs. And, when you think about it, if a company has a policy like that, talented women will probably tend to work at that company. And, with greater talent, that company will be much more likely to succeed. Companies with more restrictive, intolerant attitudes toward women will not succeed. Let the free market work. It will solve problems in a lot more efficient manner without government in the way.

Wow, It is truly amazing that someone could turn a discussion about the war in Iraq into a whining session about how women are treated poorly in the U.S. and the need for diversity, while totaling overlooking facts such as the number three powerful person in Iraq, Uday Hussein, rapes and tortures women for sport. I thought you were interested in fair and balanced coverage. Regards, Huey

In 1990 I declined a job offer from EDS because their employee manual (that I asked to review during the interview process) demanded that women wear skirts and nylons for business meetings. Amy, please try reading a few of the stories from these women. I think it puts your nylon story in the proper perspective. By the way, even though I am a male, I have quite a bit of experience with tights having been an avid cyclist in all weather conditions in many countries. I can't believe wearing nylons or tights to a business meeting is that much of a problem. Anyway, here are some women with some real problems. Women for a FREE IRAQ womenforiraq.com
