 Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul
 Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that
 women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

 She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind
 their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime,
 the women are happy to maintain the old custom.

 Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you
 now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to
 change?'

 The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without
 hesitation said, 'Land Mines.'

 No matter what language you speak or where you go:
 BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE IS ONE SMART WOMAN!

Smart Women?

I though that was a fairy tale !


Something like...

Once upon a time, long ago, there was a smart woman...

But it was just once, it was long ago, and there was only one.
