I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying toys not included.

PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.

On the Native American front we have turned a new page in the 400-year history of the interface between the American settlers of this country and the nation's first Americans. That's included a new relationship where the sovereignty of tribes is in fact recognized.

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex the ugly ones included.

An interim government was set up in Afghanistan. It included two women one of whom was Minister of Women's Affairs. Man who'd she have to show here ankles to to get that job?

If you really want change you really want it to be inclusive where everyone's included otherwise you're just going to have more of the same in the future.
