Clinton Inducted Into Women's Hall of Fame

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. - Inspired by Alan Shepard, the first American to journey into space, a 14-year-old from suburban Chicago wrote a letter to NASA in 1961 asking what she needed to do to become an astronaut. She got a curt reply: Girls are not being recruited by the nation's space program.

"It had never crossed my mind up until that point that there might be doors closed to me simply because I was a girl," recalled the letter writer, better known today as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as she was enshrined Saturday in the National Women's Hall of Fame, along with nine other inductees.

Honored with her were Maya Lin, who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.; Dr. Rita Rossi Colwell, who became the first female director of the National Science Foundation in 1998; and Betty Bumpers, a crusader for childhood immunizations who was Clinton's predecessor as Arkansas' first lady.

"I don't think there has ever been a better time to be a woman than in the United States of America in the 21st century," Clinton said in an interview.

The first known women's rights convention was held in 1848 in this upstate New York village. The hall, which opened in 1969, acclaims women who have made valuable contributions to society and especially to the freedom of women. In all, 217 women have been chosen by a national committee of judges.

Six women honored posthumously this year included pilot Blanche Stuart Scott, a barnstormer in the early days of aviation; Ruth Fulton Benedict, an anthropologist whose 1934 book, "Patterns of Culture," became an American classic; and Florence Ellinwood Allen, who in 1934 became the first female judge appointed by a president to a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Because Hil has a problem with her "stories" being proven less than authentic...

Anyway, regardless of her politics, simply the achievement of being elected Senator from New York would qualify her for a Women's Hall of Fame in New York.

This question is directed to the last two posts. I've received several different responses to this question so I was just curious as to what your responses would be. Why do you prefer shaved over leaving it all natural? I hope we haven't crossed any potty lines yet. :shrug:

If you've ever had to pick pubic hair out from between your teeth, you'd understand.

i'll bet she knows.
Wendy Peek sounds just like a pornflick chick name.

Why do you prefer shaved over leaving it all natural?
Why do you prefer eating a steak to eating dog food?

No, you're right. I haven't had to pick pubic hair out from between my teeth because I don't use my teeth! However, the back of my throat is a different story!!! :heh:

Nickel, if I had to come up with a pornflick chick name it certainly would not be a boring name like mine. You're right though, that was a good one! :thumb:

Come to think of it, my Puerto Rican has called me his very own porno queen once or twice. I don't know if it's because of my vast personal library of videos that I like to watch with him (or sometimes alone!) or if he's referring to my skills. Hmmm, I'll have to ask him and get back to you on that!

As far as responding to ialsohaveadream....boy you got me on that one! I guess if I had been raised by a pack of wolves I would have been able to answer that question. But, if you had asked me about something a little closer in relation such as preferring steak over hamburger then we could have had a conversation.

I just asked a simple question only because I was curious to what other guys preferences were and why compared to other guys I know that I've asked the same question too. Now if you ask me that question I would be on the same side with you guys. Precisely why I sport a bald eagle, not only for my man but for myself as well. I feel a lot cleaner this way and I also don't want anything in the way of my man's goal he's trying to accomplish when he heads south of the border!! :winkie:
