Here's an interesting tidbit. To this day in Greek, the words for "girl" and " boy",Το κορίτσι and Το αγόρι, are neuter gender.

A rare all my ping lists (including the homosexual minority humpback whale ping list) ping simply because it’s that good.
Food for thought all, food for thought...

In Rome, a child's father had the right to kill him for whatever reason until he came of age.This was in later Republican times.
In early days, this power continued until the death of the father. In fact, the father was the only "person" recognized by the law, so in essence Roman society did not recognize the existence of individuals, only a grouping of families, with authority and responsibility seated in the father.

Suffer the little children....
Christianity is most definitely under attack as is freedom. They go hand in hand. The only way the DiC and his ilk can have absolute power is to kill them both

Thanks for the ping -- had seen the headline and not stopped to read, have done so now -- you're right -- a really good post, worthy of a second look.

Fascinating observation that makes perfect sense regarding the trajectory of social issues in which left wing deviants still have yet to conquer.

In early days, this power continued until the death of the father I did not know that, thanks. With euthanasia laws we soon will give a similar power to the children.

Bulgarian is a strange language: Slav vocabulary and Greek grammar.
