jakemccauley? I'm going to quote sections of your article above and respond to them. Here we go:

You stated therein>>[It's dangerous to be right when the state is wrong.]

My response: That is so very true.

You stated therein: [If all you want to take away from that is "he must want to f--- kids", then you lack cognitive capacity more than any child I've ever met.]

My response: These societal fundamentalists who would attack your article take a predilection of using the pedophile card in support of their stance on such issues, because they have no real arguments or meaningful facts to back themselves up. Moreover, it's kind of like them saying that people who support gay rights have to be gay. Or more like, if a man fights back against an amazon who is violently assaulting him, then he must condone violence against women. These people think with their backsides instead of their brains.

Anyhow, after reading your article, I'm curious to know what your position is on youngsters being legally able to marry in their teens. The English Common Law stipulates that a girl cannot get married younger than 12 years old under any circumstances and a boy cannot get married younger than 14 years old under any circumstances. However, societal fundamentalists like Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot are going across the country to pressure state legislatures to make the minimum marriageable age a solid 18 years old with no exceptions. I'd be interested in your thoughts on that.
