Hi Christina,
You did a fabulous job with this interview! It's so right on in its focus on women's issues! Thank-you so much for doing this! Would be interested in the comments of others. Also, will you tape the 1hr. program on 9/3? Would love to hear it. Or, will it be on IndyMedia? Many blessings, and so much gratitude, Dr. Ann Comments (Hide Comments)great interview

the situations Dr Lopez describes are horrifying... and in a way unnecessary - not caused by any natural disaster or failing internal to these women's culture... just the (by)product of the organised greed that governs so much of the world.
