I've checked my spam box, but it's not there either. So we'll leave it at 'Poo'! : )Mike Keytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116528233058221536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644036152805047632.post-73164740318490429612013-02-05T18:07:34.532-08:002013-02-05T18:07:34.532-08:00Wait a minute.

Anyway, the piece is largely tongue in cheek, though having said that there are more important things like the sanctity of life at both ends of the spectrum, and more unfair things. Truth be told I have no strong feelings on this either way - except for the caveat that tradition and stability is sometimes more important than perceived injustice. I'm not comparing this particular issue with Syria, but I wonder to what extent the principle is much the same. The Assad regime was a tyranny, but those fighting against it are in many cases proxies for outside interests, and I personally think the average Syrian must long for the stability and prosperity they enjoyed only a few years ago.

Then it becomes a matter of ethics, and a heated discussion will ensue as to which is the more unethical, abortion or designing male heirs at the expense of females.

I figured when the queen gave an order anything to do with it was modified automatically. Don't trouble her with details.<br /><br />When is the baby due? Have they said?
