The word for that, I believe, is "hypocrisy". -- Saumya Debray, SUNY at Stony Brook uucp: {cbosgd, decvax, ihnp4, mcvax, cmcl2}!philabs \ {amd70, akgua, decwrl, utzoo}!allegra > !sbcs!debray {teklabs, hp-pcd, metheus}!ogcvax / CSNet: debray@suny-sbcs@CSNet-Relay

I have never said I believed unequal premiums for men was right. Women have had to fight for their rights and are still fighting for those rights and to prevent discriminationn. Is there some reason why men cannot fight against discrimation when it happens to them? Sherry Mann

<> I feel a need to defend myself ( silly me) against charges of hypocrisy made by Mr. Debray. I did not say that I thought higher car insurance premiums for men were right or fair. I was merely saying that I have enough battles to fight already. Lori Fuller
