We, as a group, can do many things for many ferrets. As far as the "voting" issue in the AFA: There was a time in history when women couldn't vote either. That change was wrought from within the government's system. Please bear in mind the lessons from history and consider the governments that were changed from without, compared to the governments that were changed from within. The AFA is in a position to do a lot of good, given the resources and people to achieve it. Debi Christy Ferrets First Foster Home, Carthage, TX [Posted in FML issue 3009]
