What would really be cool is if we could change genders *temporarily* and
easily. Would not we all become more insightful beings? We could
create enough marital harmony that marriage half lives would exceed a
century, if only, at the impasse of any argument, the couple could both
temporarily switch gender. I would not wish to *stay* the opposite
sex, but there is little I would not give to be able to walk a kilometer
in their mocassins. spike
