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?
