They never seem to harvest a deer, rifle and hunting clothes clean. Double standards never works, I watched a piece on the news where this lady doctor was resident of the year, done the same job as her male associates, she made 68 thousand a year, the male doctors made between 130 to 160 thousand a year; what is up with that?
