I think the facts speak fairly loudly about the circumstances surrounding issues related to economic security for women in this country. Admittedly we've come a long way, but there's much more to be done.
If you cut off the root and the ability of people to say what they think, to research what they believe to be the case, and to provide appropriate evidence on the issues they're attempting to address, then I think you're saying, we don't want to listen to the problems they have; we'll simply do what we want, but don't tell us anything new. That's the feeling I get. It's like I'm standing in front of a class of children trying to get them to think for themselves, but I don't want to hear what they're thinking. It's that kind of approach that we have considerable difficulty with.
