...accident that Susan B. Anthony and Lucretia Mott and any number of leading suffragists were raised in Quaker homes. As one Friends school catalog put it in 1864: "Girls, do not believe that you were created for nothing but to play, dance, sing, read novels and flirt ...

It has no significant mineral resources, no significant agriculture and no significant industry that could attract foreign investors. Put alongside this the stationing of rockets in Poland, radar posts in the Czech Republic, and America's flirt-and-more with the states of the once "soft underbelly" of the (Soviet) Russian bear, among them Georgia. Russia had to react! We thought it a good idea to put a ring into the nose of the Russian bear in Kosovo, and the bear now drags the supposed bear tamer...
