How else you could have read this far in the postings and still have utterly missed the entire point of the suggestion? My first reaction to the lobotomy suggestion was "Great Idea! Here's a perfect first subject!". But now that I see how ineffective it is, I guess we better come up with something else. Maybe we could put 'em all on a farm shortly after birth (and make sure they don't have access to terminals). -- --JB "The giant is awake." Disclaimer? Who wud claim dis?

Doesn't it rub you the wrong way to have people--even in jest--suggesting application to anyone of one of the most brutal techniques ever devised for the repression of women?
