Why?

Who's worried?

Who?

I can sometimes spell...chromosome

And all and whatever that entails...

Which exactly is the incomplete, dysfunctional or 'defective' sex?

The details and gathering storm of all this in genetics, neuro-science and behavior studies are just about to do us a sidewinder...hard.

[Maybe not 'us' exactly, but a lot of this Patriarchy thing, for sure.]

Even just across the street from the Park...

A breeze even then, perhaps...

New York City August hot is just as miserably hot as

A New York minute is...miserably truncated.

HOT. I forgot.

Catholic, if you missed that.

Love the word 'accidental' with 'babies'.

Kind of strictly 'hetero' domain, isn't it?

That's a word that never applies to gay couples' babies, gay adoptions.

Always intended, wanted, planned or even schemed and plotted.

But never....'accidental.

Just sayin'

Jimmy was also quite correct in this terminology.

Exactly. Same geo-political configurations.

You're right....stop being nice. Please.

"When you give birth to a girl, people say you have a poyatou, a worthless servant girl. When it's a boy, they say you have a dapangxiaozi, a big fat boy."

Perhaps we might rather call her 'complete' and

disappointed perhaps, see him rather as 'stunted'.

[*Some of the characteristics that go with this deletion carry both physical and survival benefits...for the the troop or tribe

and so persist.

But would we have it otherwise?]

I finally had enough of CNN and stripped that whole package out.

Unfortunately that included Comedy Central and so I've missed

Colbert and Stewart for quite a while...

But to have seen Fonda 'doing' Colbert in the way you described almost brought me to tears.

Stephen!...brought [figuratively] to his kness.

Hilarious.

"Economic pressures spur illegal immigration,..."

Just as economic pressures foment terrorism.

And Iraq is a factory for terrorism.

And Iraq has marshes...in which terrorists hide,

So the 'Arundo wasp or Arundo fly' are just a natural and

total two-fer too.

[sorry]

"On the other, my sister-in-law has dwarfism; I feel queasy..."

Like...Stop!

My granddaughter has a big 22q11.2 knockout...big.

But is phenotypically (and damned near magically with the surgery) going to be ok.

She is a joy.

-HAD I KNOWN THAT the family would be subjected to all the trials and guilts and self-searching that went with her travails...

Open heart('minor'? VSD), several young years of reflux puking and pneumonias and wasting...and misery for all of them.

-NOT KNOWING that her outcome was going to kind of...ok

-WOULD HAVE gone for early termination in a heart beat.

NONE of that applies to a living -being here- person,

a Stakeholder...now.

All false choice..woulda coulda shoulda stuff.

[And the 'forced-birthers' can go stuff.]

P.S. Sorry for the caps, my HTML is so lose.

...for that.

Right-wing Authoritarian...usually

...found later. [I know, 'incestuous']

"Horne noted that one of the less-known effects of torture is its effect on those who carry it out. "The damage done to the torturees is awful, but an extraordinary thing is the terrible corruption of torture on the torturers. I've followed it up quite a lot in France. There are mental hospitals that have a lot of ex-soldiers from 50 years ago who are still suffering from what they had to do."

A substantial number are prone to torture.

Something dead inside.

All...dead.

And I am exactly as adrift in argument out of my venue as you

(probably not very) may be.

The key is peer review.

Who else exactly is looking at the thesis..for you?

And where you get the 'take-home' finally is

how much you trust the reviewer(s).

You would be fortunate to have some background for looking at

the statistics relevant to the data but

Some of this stuff is still just impenetrable...otherwise.

[So ask me about Orthopaedic Surgery, but don't expect much

gone at all afield.]

Real McCoy...26.2

And...

Having thought on this...you need to do it...

And high at the end...that "I *did it!" is amazing.

At least once or you'll never forgive.

["actually fu*king" goes in there]

I read a whole piece in which I wasn't awfully interested

to find what 'slow food' might actually be.

On finding nothing referenced, the word...'fast'

squirmed into existence and

"The rest", as they say, "is history".

Or.."duh".

What is it about women...everything being their fault...that makes my Beloved Patriarchy love to torch....girls.

Always...girls.

[It is said too that they burned 'Faggots' but that must have been their girlishness. So I guess that's ok.]

"LLL also stresses that boob swapping

can confuse the baby and

disrupt maternal bonding."

What twaddle.

The baby's just going to have two sources for food ...

a soft place and --on occasion-- solace.

Be good for everybody.

[Watch the neuroscience.]

I was a Marine..

I was always proud of that.

I wasn't one of the tough guys, just air-wing, but I got through boot in Parris Island..just after McKeon.

And did ok in the service.

The USMC was good to me and for me.

My old unit. MAG-11 dropped napalm and white phosphorus on civilian Falluja.

On the flightline for them I would've serviced guidance systems.

Marines do Guantanamo, did Haditha.

This monstrous neocon adventure has soiled a unit I loved.

And ruined the hearts and souls of a bunch of kids who

deserved...just as I did...to be proud....to come home happy.

Murtha warned us.

I have two caps which will never be worn again.

A sticker on my old Malibu has been scraped off.

It hurts.

Was just! about to bring in Anti Forced-Birth as title and

barely glimpsed it at the end of the post.

I have liked it for a long time...

As in

"How dare YOU even fuc*king consider...

About what I should do with MY uterus?

That one...IN me!"

"Or invent one of your own if you're so bloody worried!"

Or like that.
