To do the right thing, making the best judgments we could. Maybe they were wrong, history will judge. But where i disagree just to come back to the start of this is question us for our judgments, absolutely, lets have that argument, but talking about menacity, youre looking in the wrong place.

There have been womens meetings forever about pay, about Sexual Harassment, about, you know, protecting womens reproductive rights but now finally people are thinking, wait a minute, this is really getting old.
