Re:  Obeying Authority as in Romans 13 inter alia

The overwhelming majority of citizens respected Gloria Steinem in the sixties and seventies; her days of folksy liberation and litigation. We watched and listened as she re-defined the inequalities of that time.  In recent years, Steinem saw the pendulum swing the other way and quipped, “Well, at least men (learned to type).” Now we not only respect Gloria, we admire and honor her. She worked within the framework of authority and “spoke truth to power” as much as any Enron whistle-blower, and she was their pioneer.  At once a demonized Joan of Ark, she has taught us men to get ready, be prepared for the future (which is now past) and we are better for it. Women have proven (albeit with affirmative action) that they were better equipped to deal with an oncoming age of media and computers than “mere mortal men” (think Superman). “To think, to sit.” (think Hamlet by W. Shakespeare). Is Gloria the “Ophelia” of our society? Who was/is her “Hamlet”?
