Do people really have to be so touchy? Why do we have to say the statue insults women? Can’t it just suck ass with no ulterior motivation? ---

In my humble O, it complements women in the service in ways some of you will never know ☹ . I won’t even try to explain, except to say some of you will understand from my statement, and some won’t. But to all in the service, and to all women who serve, thank you. Nothing more has to be said. ---

Can anybody guess what kanicbird might mean? I’m interested but not hopeful that he’d elaborate if asked to. ---

> [@Boyo Jim](#): > > Quenn Charlotte looks like she just got both barrels of a 12-guage in the gut. That’s because she’s across the street from the [Beverly Garland National Scattergun Memorial Statue.](http://www.wildestwesterns.com/images/issue_4_images/bev-garland.jpg) ('Couldn’t find the picture of Bev lever-actioning a Winchester at a Venusian’s face. THAT’D be a cool statue.) Anyway, about Lady Liberty…Maybe they should replace it with a replica of [this statue,](http://www.theculturedtraveler.com/Archives/MAY2003/Volgograd.htm) and wait to see how long it takes someone to get offended at _that_ one. ---

Ok, since you really want to know **Gest** , It means that females don’t have to give up anything to become true (kick-ass) warriors. Does that clear it up? ---

And I feel the need to go further, which is the reason I didn’t want to go into details, that those female warriors are real women. (sort of the same point I jsut made but from the other side.) ---
