	I knew I should have stopped at saying that the posting looked
like it came right out of the National Enquirer.  After all, the whole idea
of breeding slaves went out of style over a hundred years ago.  However,
I added a possible biological objection, knowing full well about Donkeys
and Mules,  Chick-Quail Hybrids, etc., but said it anyway.  Well, I'm
happy to have provided catharsis to anyone who ever wanted to catch me
in a slip, not so much of fact, but of judgement.  Now, then, don't you
all feel better?
	Continue with the philosophical implications of this, including
the question:  "Who would bear the hybrid child?" It probably would
have to be human, given the cranial constraints.  Would you volunteer?
Or then again, maybe just drop it
