Sadly, over half the human race was omitted from LBJ’s comment. (Women.)
Hi Russ,
LOL!!
You are absolutely correct, but that was from another time and mindsets (then) were less concerned about gender specificity. Otherwise, Neil Armstrong (too) might have said “… One giant leap for humankind.” But, he didn’t. I’m willing to cut the former President some slack.
As always, thanks for the visits and the comments!
