� New Mother: "Is it a boy or a girl?" Obstretrician: "I think it's a bit
early to start imposing roles on it, don't you?"--dialogue from "The Meaning
of Life," 1983

� "A couple of Swedish parents have stirred up debate in the country by
refusing to reveal whether their two-and-a-half-year-old child is a boy or a
girl. . . . In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the
parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist
philosophy that gender is a social construction. 'We want Pop to grow up more
freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,'
Pop's mother said. 'It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or
pink stamp on their forehead.' "--Local (Sweden), June 23, 2009

It's now time for healing, and for fixing the damage the Democrats did
