Thanks for posting that B, some very interesting points. Not sure I would use any of that in my phd though, as like you said, It's old hat. It does always come down to the same old tired debate on empowerment. I wish somebody would change the record!

Oh yea and boobies, boobies, boobies, I loves getting em out for the girls!
