Law of Sex Predetermination Claims By Romme
London reports Dr Romme asserts a natural law predetermines child sex with boys born when the father is weaker and girls when the mother is weaker. He cites La Revue data that from 105 to 106 girls are born per 100 boys, altered only after great wars, and that a child resembles the weaker parent. Nevada banking woes prompt calls for stronger deposit protections similar to Oklahoma.
