There is confusion about what is purple, violet, magenta, rose, mauve, and other shades of mixing primary and secondary colors. So what comes after tertiary colors? Red and blue makes magenta, but then there are so many shades of red and blue! I can't wait to get to the tints!

In 1971, Abzug joined other leading feminists such as Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, and Betty Friedan to found the National Women's Political Caucus.
Abzug declared, "This woman's place is in the House—the House of Representatives", in her successful 1970 campaign. She was later appointed to chair the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and to plan the 1977 National Women's Conference by President Gerald Ford and led President Jimmy Carter's commission on women. less

I have always thought of this guy and his actions as the most courageous I've ever known of. I mean, to stand against a whole system alone like that. . . There's no way I could ever do that.Then I started thinking about other acts of great courage and I couldn't come up with that many. And even the ones I did come up were fuzzy in my head. I thought of the Tubbman lady, the guy that ran for mayor of San Francisco I think, the Schindler's list German industrialist, Dr King, and maybe a couple more. Strangely enough, I had no problem coming up with a substantial list of dictators and bad characters.What acts of courage have impressed you the most above all? less
