Of course. But only few of these men are attracted to Ray.  However,
you are right that I should have made myself more clear as I no way
meant to suggest that women are more suceptible to the lures of
charisma than men.

Only so long you do not threaten his position of power or seriously
challenge his ideas.  I doubt you would get on with him very well
judging by how you are giving me a hard time. ;-)

I agree and do not enjoy doing it myself.  But when I hear Ray Kent, of
all people, being admiringly quoted for having said, "there will never
be peace on earth as long as humans eat meat" which is not only
complete nonsense and an insult to all indigenous peoples, but also a
statement that only serves to promote more polarization & conflict in a
world already saturated with strife, I have to speak up.  For too long
we have allowed hypocrisy & zealatory to proliferate in our community.
