re: rThe girl on the escalator. - I think we've learned much since that 'girl on the escalator' days... at leas most women have.
At the most and for most of us there's more to us.
Women are not that much different from men although, they do tend to use their brains a bit better (please after all this talk here, indulge me on this one).
I do agree with gbaikie on the fact that most people do not like socialism. If they don't know about it, once they do, they will not like it.
