Yeah. Does anyone really believe that the same folks who wiped their keisters with their bare hands after taking a dump were capable of bringing Cottonelle Soft-As-Hell Toilet Tissue to the primitive peoples of the West? One would hardly think so.<br /><br />If members of an inner-city street gang broke into a library, sooner rather than later, they would utterly destroy that library. The one thing that they would not do would be to add to the store of books there. Thugs know only destruction. So is it any surprise that the so-called conservators of the collective knowledge of the entire Dark Ages world, i.e., our friends the Muslims, now rule societies with 90% illiteracy rates? What happened?<br /><br />In contrast, Harvard University, some four hundred years after its founding, remains intellectually vibrant. Perhaps there is something to be said for the prohibition of first-cousin marriages after all.Slika Poznatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536828059344711970noreply@blogger.com
