Barbara Walters of 60 Minutes (USA) did a story on gender roles
in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind
their husbands.

She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still
walk behind their husbands, but now seem to walk even further
back and are now happy with the old custom.

Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked.
"But why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you
used to try and change"

"Land mines," said the woman.
Have a good weekend guys!

Here's a link to a site that is a good place to check
anytime you see anything of questionable validity.
Of course you need to go to the root - www.snopes.com
The link I posted is specific to the picture that Steve
pasted below, but they have all kinds of stuff you
can check out.

Hope everyone is doing just fine. Spring has arrived
in a big way here in Atlanta. The weather this weekend
has been "Absolutely Marvelous".

Anybody know whether the Marine Corp 'Ooh Rah'
originated before the Army 'Hooahh' or was it the
other way around?
