I think it's nice the country seems more willing to accept women and minorities in high level positions. Not that long ago this would have been unheard of-

I'm a little younger then some on here and a lot older then others. But I remember when my dad had an absolute fit when my mom wanted to go somewhere in *gasps* pants. I also remember starting school and her wanting to get a job. "Women don't work, are you crazy? What will the neighbors say?" And while I'm from a northern state I remember watching the civil rights movements on the news. I also remember the first time I saw a black person, I was at least 8 and we'd traveled from Salem, Or to Portland, Or. That really wasn't that long ago.

Things change, sometimes change is good.
