Some guys in Jordan murder their sisters because they don't approve how one of them married, and in India, the Supreme Court has ordered the enforcement of a law against determining fetal sex because parents are aborting females. I've lambasted India for its sexist culture before, but I'm especially boggled by the men in Jordan: I don't like your husband, so I'm going to kill you, the sister I have loved for years?? Why not kill him if it's that far up your ass? Locking these guys up sounds like a good idea, as I wouldn't trust them to run around loose, but they won't have to get rehabilitated, and they'll serve six months at the most, because the powers that be in Jordan basically think that murder is OK in these circumstances. Assholes.

(In local news, some asshole I never heard of before (but who lives perhaps two blocks from me) has pleaded guilty to ripping off a lot of elderly people. I dearly wish that there was something better to be done than send him to prison for awhile and get back as much money as possible. It's just such a waste.)
