We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. it isn't a reality yet. today, women make up half of the u.s. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. but unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

I am a men's liberationist (or "masculist") when men's liberation is defined as equal opportunity and equal responsibility for both sexes. i am a feminist when feminism favors equal opportunities and responsibilities for both sexes. i oppose both movements when either says our sex is the oppressed sex, therefore, "we deserve rights." that's not gender liberation but gender entitlement. ultimately, i am in favor of neither a women's movement nor a men's movement but a gender transition movement.

There may be countries [where] there's no gender inequality in schooling, even in higher education, but [where there is] gender inequality in high business. japan is a very good example of that. you might find cases in the united states where at one level women's equality has progressed tremendously. you don't have the kind of problem of higher women's mortality as you see in south asia, north africa, and east asia, china, too, and yet for american women there are some fields in which equality hasn't yet come.

Forests are breaking out all over america. new england has more forests since the civil war. in 1880, new york state was only 25 percent forested. today it is more than 66 percent. in 1850, vermont was only 35 percent forested. now it's 76 percent forested and rising. in the south, more land is covered by forest than at any time in the last century. in 1936 a study found that 80 percent of piedmont georgia was without trees. today nearly 70 percent of the state is forested. in the last decade alone, america has added more than 10 million acres of forestland.

While much remains to be done to achieve full equality of economic opportunity-for the average woman worker earns only 60 percent of the average wage for men-this legislation is a significant step forward.

I know teddy kennedy had fun at the democratic convention when he said that i said that trees and vegetation caused 80 percent of the air pollution in this country. ... well, now he was a little wrong about what i said. i didn't say 80 percent. i said 92 percent-93 percent, pardon me. and i didn't say air pollution, i said oxides of nitrogen. growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen. ... if we are totally successful and can eliminate all the manmade oxides of nitrogen, we'll still have 93 percent as much as we have in the air today.
