Jesus, Alf, is it possible for you to write a post that ISN'T a novel? I mean I write long posts also, I only hope people don't skim through my posts like I just did with yours. Also, though I think this problem is world wide, I shudder at the thought that you bring so much religon into this subject... the "devil made me do it" principle went out of style a long time ago. The choice to molest a child is not a sickness, it is not satan taking over a body, spiritual corruption, the result of poor parenting... it is a choice and a bad one. The failure to act like a civilized human being, PERIOD. Your rant only shows the true horror which could happen if this law isn't revised properly. One subjected with a bunch of Billy Graham mumble jumble just isn't going to cut it. Jack
