I'm not aware of any cultures outside dog cultures that endorse parent/child incest.

Ain't that the truth. Does the AKC recognize them when they're bred that close?

I don't think so but I think a grandchild (dog) can breed with the grandparent(dog)??

Sort of like that old country funny song...."I'm my own Grandpa"

I am not knowledgable enough on this case or ruling to make a strong opinion.

From my gut, I feel that what folks do in their bedroom is their business as long as children are not involved or serious physical harm done.

But, like most banner rulings like this one, I fear it will likely lead to a slippery slope as precedent for sexual deviancy (can I still say that word now?)

My wife who is infinitely more astute than I about the pulse of culture and hardly a prude (far from it thankfully) sees this as not good from the state's power perspective and more so because the homosexual (and anyone else) activists will exploit it.

I'm more ambivalent.

Sure, but it not just dogs. My Dad raised pigeons and bantam chickens. Breeding father to daughter and son to mother is pretty routine...you just kill the undesirable offspring, which is what some cultures have done with undesirable human offspring as well. Ever hear of a "squab knife"? (Used not just for killing the culls, but also because some twisted people actually like to eat squab.(baby pidgeon)) Often the culls were allowed to grow to conventional eating size. Dad would donate them, both pidgeons and chickens, to needy senior citizens in the area. They were quite glad to get them.
