Think of the implications of China's one-child policy in that light Tom Send a noteboard - 07/10/2010 01:37:11 PM
The sex imbalance created by little girls being aborted is expected to have a negative impact on society. Given how closed China is (from a news reporting perspective) it's unclear just how big an impact it's having.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
