Balance: That’s all I seek. As a nice counterpoint to the story I linked to about jilted men throwing acid on former lovers, this week I find that Iranian women are taking out the trash. Apparently sufficating social strictures aren’t bringing back the golden years of Muhammud and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. Who could have predicted this? Normally oppresion is a great long-term plan for social stability. Clearly, these women are being unduly influenced by western “ambush” talk shows like Jerry Springer. Death to the infidel!
