The polar party: they all died trying

Britain has always had a self-destructive streak a mile wide. A recent caper called “Can Our Kids Be Gender Free?” inspired this historical reflection.

You Can’t Defy Reality Forever

In 1912 Capt. R.F. Scott led a party of five to the South Pole. No one came back alive. The same journey successfully completed by Norwegians a month before proved fatal to the incompetence of the British expedition. It was as if Scott had been trying to wish his way to the pole.

I’ll have to see if I can discover how “Gender-Free Kids” came out. It won’t kill you outright, like a bungled expedition to the South Pole; but I can’t imagine it doing any good at all.

    1. I’ve been trying to discover how that experiment turned out; but as usual, there’s no follow-up. Well, they’d never tell us if it turned out bad, would they?

  1. I posted a number of comments a few days ago. Still haven’t seen them. Sometimes they post, sometimes they don’t….

    …sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t… anyone remember that add about two candy bars?
