That is why you attack it. But I still think it adds to the overall case. With regards to the South acceptance of pedophilia, my piece doesn't argue that because current events make that self-evident. As of this morning a 5th woman was come forward, the 2nd to allege that Bible-thumping Judge Roy Moore sexually assaulted her as a minor and ALs 7 congressmen are still supporting him. My piece is an attempt to given some historical context to why this is the case.Linux Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359697432337570913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639993681285476875.post-63855910664264972462017-11-13T06:51:30.109-08:002017-11-13T06:51:30.109-08:00I was born and raised in Mississippi.

All US States put their age of consent somewhere from 16 to 18. In Canada the age of consent is 16. How do you explain that? When I first started practicing law in the 80s, in Mississippi sex with a girl under the age of 14 was a capital offense punishable by death. Death is no longer the penalty, but sex with someone under 18 is a felony, and the younger the girl the more severe the penalty. Your theory is a nice one, but it simply is not supported by the facts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07046119703374611419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639993681285476875.post-2194622981230119032017-11-13T06:33:37.245-08:002017-11-13T06:33:37.245-08:00Correction: Texas was a Confederate state and the ...Correction: Texas was a Confederate state and the age of consent here is 17.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343577162430023670noreply@blogger.com
