Meryl feels snarky today, and blames it on me.
"Wudn't me. I gotta bad back."
She points to a comforting article on Soddy beggars, ponders why 50% of Soddy breeding stock women (and almost 30% of men) are illiterate — uh... lemme think! — and wonders what Soddies do when their real estate investments blow away in sandstorms. She winds up (except for a brief afterthought) with the Muslim World League (MWL) urging the Earth Summit committee studying problems of women and family "to draw benefit from the rules of ethics and morality as enshrined in Islam."
Oh, cheeze! She's got the ten-guage...!
He also stressed the need to protect women from all forms of suppression, violence and sexual harassment so that they can perform their role satisfactorily in bringing up future generations.
You mean the suppression and violence that women in fundamentalist Islamic societies experience every day? Like honor killings and being forced to wear the burqa and being beaten for showing any skin or being stoned to death for "adultery" while the man goes free for lack of evidence and being forced back into a burning building because your head is uncovered? Oh, that's not considered suppression, I forgot—it's religious freedom.
Now who the hell's gonna clean those walls, Ms Yourish? Damn! Scales, gutz and fish heads, everywhere you look... Damned nice job! |
