Nancy Pelosi on Making History
On January 4, 2007, Nancy Pelosi made history as the first woman elected as Speaker of the House of the US Congress. She spoke before Congress with words recognizing this unique event:
"It's an historic moment for the Congress, it's an historic moment for the women of America. It is a moment for which we have waited over 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting, women were working, never losing faith we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and our granddaughters, today we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters, the sky is the limit. Anything is possible for them."Read more about Nancy Pelosi:

I hope you take this correctly, but I don't look on this as particularly noteworthy, and I look forward to the day that more people feel the same.

I hear what you're saying and I agree in principle.But - firsts are important, at least now. I hope for the time when gender or race will not be a big deal.Now it is, at least to me.

I agree. Ability, not race nor gender, should be the only matter of importance.
