Pedophile Party?
By Jim Henshaw, 7/19/2006 7:49:45 PM
Interesting article in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's July 18th issue: "A
Dutch court refused yesterday to ban a political party whose main goal
is to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12 ... Widely dubbed
the "pedophile party", it is unlikely to win a seat in Parliament."
Lucky we live Hawaii, yeah? As the father of two preteen girls, I'm so
glad I live in a state where we don't have to deal with politicians
from a lunatic fringe political party who think the age of consent
should be below 16.
In particular, I'm delighted to live in such a conservative state where
there isn't the slightest chance that we could elect a politician
running for our version of Parliament, Congress, who has ever sat in a
State House or Senate committee hearing room and argued in favor of
policies similar to those of the Dutch Pedophile Party. Nope, rest
assured, no one with pernicious views like that on the ballot.
