I don't think the color of the skin matters;  if you commit a crime you
do the time, no?

There is no legal abandonment, Mark, but there are laws to protect
newly delivered neonates, who are either returned to their mothers, or
adopted, a good outcome for all concerned.  Mark doesn't seem to admire
the fact that gestating women are dissimilarly situated to men and
other women.
Too bad.

I liked it, but not as much as Seinfeld.

Actually, I don't party with ANYONE daily.  :-)  I have watched more tv
this year than in past years.  Altho, I don't think I watch as much as
most Americans.  Right now, I enjoy Bill Maher,Medium, West Wing, and
when telling the truth :-) Gilmore Girls.  :-)  I mostly watch news
shows when I'm being a nethead.

I don't know much about her career;  I'm really not into celebrities
and would not likely cross the street to meet one of them.  Ok, perhaps
for Bill Maher.  :-)

Sure.  I don't think folks match their screen persona either.  Bill
Maher, as left wing as he is, still gets in trouble with women now and
again.  :-)  I think of him much the same way as I think of Bll
Clinton; I trust him with my ________________(country, or humour) but I
wouldn't trust them with my daughter, if I had one.
