I very much doubt that any man would have been flattered if I had said about him that he was the only woman in the government! View quote
Golda Meir
America is a great country. It has many shortcomings, many social inequalities, and it's tragic that the problem of the blacks wasn't solved fifty or even a hundred years ago, but it's still a great country, a country full of opportunities, of freedom!
