No place like home.

Iran suffered a major earthquake the other day - clearly the women of the area must have been doing something very naughty.  What - you don't know?  A senior cleric in the country has said that women who wear revealing clothing and act promiscuously "...lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes".  So now you know.  Another unbelievable story from the same part of the world concerns three men from the United Arab Emirates who were visiting  Saudi Arabia and have been deported back to the UAE on the grounds that they were "too handsome" and a risk to local women who might "fall" for them.  Aren't you sometimes glad you live in this country, for all its faults?
