	Frankly, I think inclusive speech is stupid.  If women are so
unsure of their worth that they can't accept tradition, then use female
speech.  When you are trying to get facts conveyed (gee, is that what English
docs are trying to do), it seems sort of silly to keep putting he/she or 
"he or she" into the document.  By using female speech, I mean just say
"She engineered the computer" instead of "He...".  Even though the percentage
of female students in engineering is extremely low in the U.S., and this would
be less accurate, I think I could accept this.  I'd rather not have to even
think about it, though.  By tradition, "he" usually means "he or she" anyways.

P.S.  On a side note, I think that the traditions destoyed by equal rights
movements have had a substantial negative effect on our country.  Wives aren't
home with the kids anymore, people are sleeping together instead of getting
married and settling down (it used to be common for women to take care of the
childen, but "professional' women don't have time for this).  There used to
be a job for the male of nearly every family, now there are some families with
the husband and wife working (kids getting ignored) and others where neither
can get a job.  I could continue on to discuss delinquency of children, and
future repercussion, but this is the WRONG notesfile for political statements.
