abortion rights in the hands of MEN.
<t>Ultimately, until birth, the mother has total control over the options. If she decides to abort, it is usually wisest not to resist or counter unless you have a powerful argument to persuade her. Generally, mother knows best and to counter that particular instinct, you need to have the resources ...

I personally cannot say what can be done but there is already a focus on China's oppressed. But China is an ancient established empire. Already versed in warfare before the "West" was anything at all.

What's next. Let's see, there's a lot of fuss over Gadaffi at the moment. That's only going to open a can of worms. Nothing major there.
Nope. The next port of call has got to be China. But maybe not in our lifetime. There lies a big can of worms to be opened.

Yet we are still left with one single simple question, "Why?". When our generation dies, that question will still hang there because of the shear atrocity of the event, along with many others, whatever their cause.

Let's see. How long have we had the Internet now? 8 years? More? And we still haven't realised its potential.
So, the few still have power over us while we sit back and talk about what should be.

I love the smell of growing mint when you brush past it. A flower garden in bloom is always a delight for the senses. The smell of a fruit cake baking in the oven. The coffee shops that grind their own coffee. The list could go on forever.
