---------------------------- molester wants to know ---------------------------- Dear holy joe, Is it true that the age of consent in this country until 1898 was age ten? If thatÕs true it seems to me that weÕre really getting ripped off, forced to live under laws made by weenies like Al Gore and George Bush when we could be living under the laws of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Call me a molester if you like, but thatÕs how it seems to me. holy joe replies: YouÕre right. Until 1898, the age of consent in this country was age 10. My opinion is that if you see a girl, you ought to be able to talk to her. ThatÕs called freedom of association, a part of the First Amendment that people seem to have forgotten. But for those who need an age of consent, for sex, then let that age be the age it always was during the time of our forefathers: age 10. As I like to say, ÒIf it was good enough for George Washington, itÕs good enough for me.Ó --------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2001 by Andrew Roller.
