Re: Socialism as espoused by UJ.

How about Mrs Rich & Mrs Average.
Thought we were supposed to be equal?
The Feminists certainly think so. [Not that I am one by a long chalk].

No, you are right Apricot. there are lots of Mrs Averages and Ms Averages out there too that juggle work, home and children to earn a living. Mr Average was just a manner of speech.
