Stardate 20010705.2143 (On Screen): Nations as diverse as India, the UK, France, the Philippines and now New Zealand have all chosen at one time or another to be lead by women, and for the most part they have done about as well as their male counterparts. For all of the pretensions the US has towards liberalism and egalitarianism, it is a bit of a sore spot that every single US President has been a white male. (And nearly all of them have been Christian.) I wonder if I'll live to see this pattern broken; I certainly hope so, but I'm not confident that I will. I don't expect I'll see a woman become President, but I think I might see a non-white man. My best guess? Colin Powell.
