It is time for American girls to mature physically a little later on in life, once their minds have developed. It is time for American women to demand better, safer food with fewer hormnes in it and Universal health care and responsible males for fathers for their babies. As long as the American woman is treated as a big boobed sex playground for players, and a producers of overtly aggressive little soldiers and factory workers for jobs gone offshore, America will reap what it sews - war and poverty. Please hope that this lady, PhD and all, can fight on the side of a civilized and rightful place in a decent society for it's female members, and break away from the military/industrial and commercial object we have become. G d help her, guide her and protect her, especially from the pressures placed on the mis-use of vagina's of this culture!
