Ms. Hinohosa: Brava on your program on the growing role of women in leadership. I share Bella Abzug's vision that a growing women's participation in government would mean that we would become a more compassionate, more representative, more democratic society. I want women in leadership to force this country to address the issues of health care, worker's rights, ending our condition of perpetual war, and leveling the playing field. However, there seems to be something about the culture of our country where women have been no better than men. Instead of Bella Abzug, we now get Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi. I know this is not the point of your program. Women should be as free to be part of the problem as men are, but then why bother. I would love to see a follow up program which addresses the question of why Ruanda and Chile can elect more enlightened women than we can. Thank you again for a thought provoking, well-done program.
