And the slide begins for the Saudi's.  Next thing they will let them own land and give them the vote.  History has shown us how well that works out.   America had the spirit and determination that matched the times and the land. Then the women got the vote, and everything went to hell.  The women got Prohibition put in. Drinking and gambling and whoring were declared unlawful. All those things which come natural to men became crimes.

It was a sad day for America.   SU.  Welcome to our pain.
