The teeny tiny world of the Sex Wars

'Life without men
Scientists claim to have grown human sperm in a lab, and columnists and bloggers are musing on the possibility of a world where men are no longer needed.'

Having long ago forgotten about the Sex Wars, it always surprises me that there are still people fighting them. But after reading a few paragraphs of this ploddingly humorous piece, it did strike me that only a few million people out of eight billion or so EVER frame life like this. The ones who do: all went to university, probably did some liberal arts degree, and will have sucked long and hard on the teats of the lefty world view. Its an enormously parochial little world.

I challenge you to find a single person in the Phillipines, Angola, Lithuania, Borneo or Nepal and a million places in between who would even understand the frame of reference of these blatherings. Most of the planet just gets on with having babies, going to work and going to church on Sunday. I very often wish I lived in one of those places, instead of in the home of the eternally gazed-navel.

Well, yeah

'To my Arab brothers: The War with Israel Is Over — and they won. Now let’s finally move forward...

Dear friends, you and your leaders have wasted three generations trying to fight for Palestine, but the truth is the Palestine you could have had in 1948 is much bigger than the one you could have had in 1967, which in turn is much bigger than what you may have to settle for now or in another 10 years. Struggle means less land and more misery and utter loneliness...

Your young people are growing up illiterate, ill, and bent on rites of death and suicide, while you, in effect, are living on the kindness of foreigners, including America and the United Nations. Every day your officials must beg for your daily bread, dependent on relief trucks that carry food and medicine into the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, while your criminal Muslim fundamentalist Hamas government continues to fan the flames of a war it can neither fight nor hope to win.'

Yeah. Yup. Uh huh. Know what you are saying. An Arab wrote this. Not only is this a highly persuasive piece, it is cold and harsh and rational in a way I can't ever recall an Arab talking. Time to grow up, sons and daughters of palestine.
