flame (Susan A. Lucas):
My plan is to be a woman artist......
Why? Because, how can I pass it up?
THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
Working without the pressure of success.
Not having to be in shows with men.
Having an escape from the art world in your 4 free-lance jobs.
Knowing your career might pick up after you're eighty.
Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled
feminine.
Not being stuck in a tenured teaching position.
Seeing your ideas live on in the work of others.
Having the opportunity to chose between career and motherhood.
Not having to choke on those big cigars or paint in Italian suits.
Having more time to work after your mate dumps you for someone younger.
Being included in revised versions of art history.
Not having to undergo the embarrassment of being called a genius.
Getting your picture in the art magazines wearing a gorilla suit.

starflt (Derrick Kong):
It's a Big, Big Country
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said one reason for continued U.S.
aid to El Salvador is that is "is on the mainland of the United States,
and we do have a responsibility for the defense of the continental
United States, over and above all priorities."
