In Australia, the country took a definite leftward swing when female
suffrage was enacted.

In America, the effects were slightly more subtle, but the question
lingers. Are women capable of rejecting a promise of security for an
assurance of liberty? I don't know.

See, Bratzi? It's not hard to admit that you're an idiot.

Keep it up!

Not according to John Lott:

"Academics have long pondered why the government started growing precisely when
it did. The federal government, aside from periods of wartime, consumed about 2
percent to 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) up until World War I. It
was the first war that the government spending didn't go all the way back down
to its pre-war levels, and then, in the 1920s, non-military federal spending
began steadily climbing. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal - often
viewed as the genesis of big government - really just continued an earlier
trend. What changed before Roosevelt came to power that explains the growth of
government? The answer is women's suffrage."

Don't be so tough on RAO's bachelors. They're having a hard enough
time figuring out why women won't go near them.

None of the other things that happened around that time could have been the
cause? I suppose the Arizona Diamondbacks winning the pennant caused 9/11.

Sorry, but what a superficial examination of history. The true answer
lies in a Kubrick movie which came out long before the diamondbacks
were a team.

Duh.

Of course! "I am Spartacus!" I always knew it was some sort of a code.
