Your take on classification of fish reminds me of our apartheid days when race could be defined by the pencil test.

Your comment on women struck a chord - I weep for the women and girls of Afghanistan who are banned from education, work and even visiting public parks to take their kids to the playground - their home is their prison.

I pray that one day all women will be free and enjoy the rights they are entitled to.

Thank you for a though-provoking essay.
