Thanks.
Man this is the most tiring story. And it highlights some basic differences among Freepers.
LIke how differently we regard 16 to 18 year old boys who are working in Washington. Some see them as children, vulnerable. Others see them as pretty sophisticated.
And gays. Some think any gay man is just an abomination. Others think live and let live. Some see Foley as an evil pedophile preying on innocent children. Others see him as a pitiable drunk, skirting the law, trying to get a sex partner.
It really does create dissention here. But the dems knew that.
What fascinates me is that the guy in charge of the page program is gay. I wonder if that has anything to do with how the pages are selected.
Nobody has pointed out the thing that strikes me. Gay men often as part of coming out have sexual liasons with older men. It is safer than to try to hit on a peer. And the older gay men regard it as fairly ubiquitous. Gay men often talk about this. And do not regard it as being abused, they see it as beiing initiated.
People may not approve of that. But it is part of the culture.
Well, me, oh, my, do ya think that has a bearing on the whole mess? /sarc
Interesting... have a link?
BTW... good post...
You're welcome. I only knew because I had to look it up yesterday!
I too am shocked by the discord here especially WRT pedophile or not. It almost seems as if the divergent viewpoints must be based on two separate sets of facts...go figure.
