...disagree with the feminist movement on almost every issue out there. But I must admit that if feminists are right about anything, they are correct in recognizing that the images we see and the words we hear can have a very real impact on how we treat others.

If balancing the budget is truly motivated by an interest in our children's future, then why aren't people demanding that Washington correct its 30-year slide in public investment? Families and businesses recognize that physical and human capital investments are not the same as current consumption; so should the Federal Government. America can develop a future-oriented fiscal agenda that retains budgetary discipline. But first someone must ask, What about investment? Charles J.
