a moments thought

Dear Yousef...

After a few minutes to step back and reflect, I got to thinking...

If you are one of the good Saudis, and again, I agree with you there are many...will you not decide to study this more, investigate, and decide to try to stop this? You see, there are many many posts here denying that this exists, but it really does exist, and as some say, especially the Ph.D.'s post below...no one will speak of it if they do know, b/c the monarchy has all the power, and it would be certain social destruction and even death to speak of it. It would be death to anyone trying to expose them from inside the kingdom, and maybe even from without...but if you are a good Saudi, then will you not take the time to really discover the truth and then when you find it...start speaking out? Do you have access to parties at the palaces? Then sneak around and see what you will find. Go downstairs, or...take a walk down a sidewalk to a lone isolated pavilion...perhaps labeled..."exotic birds." Go see what you will see.
