Updated: Pregnancy Plague

Family, Gender, Law, Morality, Pop-Culture, Psychology & Pop-Psychology

“As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies—more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. … none older than 16.”

Question: Why aren’t the minors being removed from their parents? Were they not impregnated under their watch? What is good for the FLDS goose must surely be good for the Gloucester gander.

Recall, just a few weeks back, “Texas Department of Child Abduction” removed hundreds of children from the sect known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint. The justification for such overreach was molestation: The kids were all being molested, Texas claimed. The alleged evidence was wide-spread pregnancy among the seized children. Nothing panned out. The entire case was based on a hunch and a hoax.

The same standards, surely, would have to apply to Muslim brides being imported, wed, and impregnated before reaching the age of majority.

Update (June 23): Compared to the promiscuity among minors in this Massachusetts school, the FLDS sect’s 15-year-olds are celibate. Or perhaps sterile (it must be all that organic food they eat).

A Bright Woman on Cable?!! Oh My G-d!

Economy, Energy, Gender, John McCain, Media

What is a bright woman doing on one of the Cretins Inc. channels?

That was my reaction when I heard Carly Fiorina explain economics 101 to a dumbstruck Wolf Blitzer of CNN.

At first I did not recognize the controversial former CEO of Hewlett-Packard. All I heard were the intelligent, measure words of a woman who thoroughly understood the effects of taxation on oil supply. Fiorina was telling Blitzer that by taxing the oil companies’ profits, the brilliant Obama will bring about less oil production and higher prices. (I recommend Obama begin his education with Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson.)

Fiorina is advising John McCain. Good choice.

The reason for my surprised reaction is that cable is a disgrace. The unprepossessing front men and women, seldom the brightest, surround themselves with beaus and bimbos a little less bright than they. All are happy; none is threatened. And Booboos Americanus remains blissfully unaware that the bobbing heads on TV are not the country’s crème de la crème.

Improving Nature The Randian Way

Britain, Gender, Individualism Vs. Collectivism, Objectivism, Reason

I have a heroic Randian friend in the UK—you have to be a lager-than-life character to make vast fortunes in that Fabian climate. When he’s not negotiating mega-million pound acquisitions, he partakes in long-distance Triathlons—qualified for the World Championships last year, and aims to do so again this year.

He said this today:

“If men had to do this [childbirth], all the resources in the world would have been put into getting the process easier, for sure.”

This is so great—just up Mercer’s logical lane—because, he, at once, 1) acknowledge the great hardship of childbirth. And 2) man’s general superiority—on the facts of it—and drive to streamline and innovate that which is imperfect.

This is just up Mercer’s logical and inspirational alleys: The Man wants to improve on nature. In this realm, nature sucks. If not for technology, I have no doubt I’d have died in childbirth. An awful business.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: America’s Shame

Europe, Gender, IMMIGRATION, Islam

I’ve been critical of Ayaan Hirsi Ali (although she’s changed a great deal since, and all for the best). But no one can fault her great courage. She’s a lionheart.

In this article, oddly, Breitbart.com, a Fox News creation, is, if not plain wrong, certainly confused. He displays the same mindset his creators are ever guilty of: the US government is never at fault:

“Hirsi Ali has been living under tight police protection since the murder of her associate, Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, by an Islamic extremist in 2004.
She is threatened with death for her role in writing the script of Van Gogh’s film ‘Submission,’ about the treatment of women in Islam. A note targeting her by name was found on his body.
The former Dutch lawmaker left the Netherlands for the United States in May 2006 following a bitter row which broke out when she admitted lying about her age and name in her Dutch asylum request.”

Now the Dutch government can’t protect Hirsi from Islam’s emissaries, because she no longer lives in the Netherlands. It’s her adopted country, the US, that ought to pick up the slack. How can a Dutch detail shield her when away from their turf and legal jurisdiction? This commentary is so typical of the Fix New mindset: never criticize the US, even if it comes at the cost of rigorous reportage.

Hirsi ought to have been given the option to apply for a Green Card. She’s self-supporting and possessing of the attitude and aptitude so short in supply in the US—and everywhere in the West.

I guess all the Green Cards have already been allotted to the favored electoral constituents: Mexican illegal illiterates.

I should know. As I related in this essay, not so long ago, U.S. immigration law enforcers apprehended at the Canadian border—and stripped of her American permanent residency with an intimidating display of machismo—a known Bandido: my daughter.
At first I was mad, but not for long: I know they need all the Green Cards they can get to give to illegals.

Oh, with respect to my previous post “Exporting Women To Make Benefit Glorious Nation of USA,” perhaps we can import Ali, and export to Saudi Arabia a few million American tarts. They would cripple the Jihadis like no bomb would. In no time the Jihadis would sink into an orgy of depravity—sex, sloth, and stupidity.
