Yawn. When the proposition comes up that 40 year old men should have legal sex with 16 year old boys, much less 12 year old boys, let me know, and I will oppose it vigorously. Sexual exploitation is execrable in any context, and drawing the line at 18 is a convenient and necessary one. You and your ilk can work the slippery slope argument all you want. In the end it is doomed to fail. Let me know when beastiality legalization becomes a vigorous movement, so that I can get a good laugh. I also oppose polygamy legalization, because it also is all about exploitation. I just read a book on it, that sealed the case for me on that one, Under the Banner of Heaven.

"I also oppose polygamy legalization, because it also is all about exploitation."

You don't think people-who-like-gay-sex are being exploited right now for political purposes?

Wow. Just - wow.

"When the proposition comes up that 40 year old men should have legal sex with 16 year old boys, much less 12 year old boys, let me know, and I will oppose it vigorously."

Well, a book that recommended dropping the age of consent to 12 years old recently got a Best Book award from the LA Times. And NAMBLA is indeed actively lobbying. Does that count? Or do we have to wait until the polls show 45% of the country in favor of it before we consider it a problem?

At that point it's too late.

It's already passed in Britain. What makes you think such legislation won't rear its ugly head in this country? Or worse, be imposed upon us by a court ruling. I mean heck, sodomy is a civil right, according to our courts.
