Klondike, I love the relativist attack you bring and I think you're right on target. Your counterargument points out the flaws of those attacking Milo quite beautifully. Henry S. Lucas made the point in "The Renaissance and the Reformation" that creating hysteria against fringe groups (e.g. witches) was merely a ploy to beguile the masses from their pitiful daily lives which were growing more and more dull and restless. What was the problem? The crabby populace threatened the ruling power's authority and privilege. It is the same now with the situation of us Boy Lovers. We are the "whipping boys" currently being used to distract and overmaster the plebeians so that those with authority can continue on, business as usual. Klondike, you point out excellent counterexamples to AOC laws. Many countries around the world have alternative consenting ages that they find acceptable. But those can and must be ignored because of the cognitive dissonance it creates in the populace. These anomalies begin to make people question and think for themselves. The Milos of the world must be taken out because they threaten the power structure. Does anyone remember the Rind et al. controversy in 1998? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rind_et_al._controversy To summarize: "Based on the results, Rind et al concluded that the general consensus associating child sex abuse with intense, pervasive harm and long-term maladjustment was incorrect." Their study was a meta-analysis of consensual relationships (that included sex) between older adults and minors. What therapists, the media and politicians wanted to label with the term ABUSE, the minors rejected! In fact, the study proved that positive results came from the relationships. What to do?!? Dr. Laura spearheaded the fight and ultimately in April of 1999, a resolution was introduced in the Alaska legislature condemning the research, with similar resolutions introduced in various other states. On July 12, 1999, the United States House of Representatives passed HRC resolution 107 by a vote of 355-0, declaring that sexual relations between children and adults are abusive and harmful, and condemned the study on the basis that it was being used by pro-pedophilia activists and organizations to promote and justify child sexual abuse. The condemnation of a scientific study by Congress was, at that time, an unprecedented event! The resolution passed the Senate by a voice vote (100-0) on July 30, 1999. What is most terrifying, of the 535 members of the House and Senate less than 10 had actually read the study, and even fewer were qualified to evaluate it based on their qualifications to do so! But the hysteria accomplished its goal and a President of the United States could have an affair, get a blow job by a young woman in the Oval and have it all exposed before the world and yet it was (and is) the Boy Lovers they come after with their torches and pitchforks. The great BL activist Tom O'Carroll says we must battle this not with isolation and and alienation but with reason. What do you all think? Love, Walt |
