It figures, Roscoe. So you'd favor letting R. Kelly define pedophilia. It's the same thing, after all. Government does NOT DEFINE our rights. We are BORN with them. The sole legitimate function of government is to protect the equal rights of ALL. No more, no less. Our rights include anything we wish to do which does not require an UNWILLING outside party to fulfill. And government's function is NOT to protect people from themselves, keep property values high or rob one group of people to pay for the fantasies of another group, such as WODDIES.

"It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it, but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society." --Thomas Jefferson
