"German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries, seen here in 2004, wants to make it illegal for any man to seek a paternity test without the mother's permission"(AFP/File/Thierry Monasse),

How does someone like that get to be "justice minister"?

I agree with the Greens on this??!?

I have green germs. Get some hot water. Get some disinfectant. Get some iodine.

This is an example of what I don't like about parliamentary systems. Very few issues are free votes for members. They must vote for the leadership's bill or they will be removed from future party lists.

Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries, a member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social
Democrats (SPD), wants to make it illegal for any man to seek such a test without the
mother's permission, and any laboratory that undertook the test would also be liable
to prosecution.

And I thought the reason the Germans wouldn't aid us in Iraq was venal duplicity.
Now I see that it's a total lack of testosterone.
