It wasn't meant as rhetorical - it was a searching question. It most
certainly wasn't a statement of the way things are. Examples tossed out for
discussion - there could be other possiblities that I hadn't thought of, nor
was I trying to present what I did as an exhaustive list of possiblities. I
wasn't trying to say that women and minorities were incapable of
understanding the Libertarian ideals (my wife would be hitting me on both
counts, if that was the case <g>), just that those ideals may not have been
fully covered (not everyone reads the same things or moves in the same
circles for example, which is more along the lines I was thinking).

Oops. Dave. Read it wrong. Banging head against wall. Doh! My fault.
