Thanks. You're right, vague and seems to apply to marriage.

Foley's taste for young men seems similar to the blond school teacher who got probation. Should we expect posters who thought her dalliances were ok to sanction his? /s

Good point. Where are the hot for Congressman posts? Or why doesn't my Congress critter come on to me?

No - read #16 again. The D.C. Age of Consent Law is more general: "The age of 16 is woven as a thread which pervades the entire body of D. C. law relating to sexual offenses of various kinds. .."

Funny should bring that up. I had a "debate" with a leftist friend last night on this same topic. She had lectured me on the teacher case you referred to, telling me that it was the student's dream come true and not likely to have the damage my outrage warranted. When it comes to Foley, with older kids and so far what amounts to just talk, she is appalled at the Republicans for covering this up. Go figure, huh?
