a wise Latina woman and a wise Anglo woman

Two wise women have a meeting of the minds in California.

Sonia Sotomayor said "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Here in California, my wife recently came to paraphrase those words while discussing the legislature in Sacramento and its failure to handle the California budget crisis.

Said Shirley, "I would hope that a wise Anglo woman with the richness of her experience would tell them all to go f**k themselves."

Ah, the politics of change.
