'If chivalry's dead, women killed it...' '

A quote from a blind businessman on the metrorail when a woman gave up here seat for him to sit yesterday morning.

Thought that was quite the interesting quote.

But to add more to that, has the so-called independent woman killed chivalry?  Do us men really feel that there isn't much left for us to do since many women of the current generation feel they can do it all themselves, even when a man attempts show some chivalry it is can often be back-fired?  I wonder....

I do not usually use unofficial blogs as references to news but I read this blog on the Guantanamo cases and was very intrigued.  Also, a very close friend of mines' girlfriend is one of the attorneys trying the Guantanamo case.  So very proud of her...Shout out to you C. O.!  Any who, I found it interesting that many cases have been thrown out because of the fact many prisoners were moved from Guantanamo to other locations which then plays to fact that they were moved from the plagued environment from Guantanamo, very interesting....
