I guess they don't read Heinlein. Heinlein explained in one (possibly more) of his books that "what takes a cow or a countess 9 months can be accomplished in much less by an eager young bride."

Yess! Love the Heinlein quote. That was from Farnham's Freehold, right?

I was thinking Time Enough for Love. But you could be right. I've read 'em all so many time, I forget where I've seen stuff.

FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME!

I have given away 6-8 copies out of sheer proslytizing joy!

Dumb for opening her mouth, that's for sure. There's a long tradition of people looking the other way (which is what the Heinlein quote is all about).

I hope she wins a billion dollar judgement from the school. The SDA's I've (knowingly) been in contact with, love being martyrs. It would make them so happy.

It's not likely if they can show even a hint of it being common knowledge or policy. Hell, they may even be able to cite their religious text as a source.

For myself, any religion is dumb in a contemporary context, but I was simply referring to what I thought his statement meant. Specifically that that SDA is dumb because they've struck out twice and people still line up for it.
