One of the things I found out about Spain recently is that there is a gender quota in the government. Each party must nominate an equal number of men and women to office. I am ambivalent about the idea. I wish it could just be the best PEOPLE, you know? Whether they are purple, spotted, or have two heads like Beeblebrox or whatever his name was. Maybe he's not such a good example but you know what I mean. On the other hand, maybe that's what needed to move the world forward. Who knows?
