I spend days at a time off SI also. But usually don't spend time watching news channels. ---------------------------------- The defensiveness to me is exemplified in pulling out 25 year old cases, trying to make themselves look better by comparing what happened then to now, saying in effect, "hey, your guy was slimier than ours". The whole thing is political and political attacks need to be countered. The point of bringing up Studds is to nullify the claim that Democrats are or would be better at safe-guarding young people. Clearly, Studds - who still sat in Congress a decade ago - shows that isn't so. Re. Brooks comparison of the Foley case to Eve Ensler's play, I think he has a point. Whatever the play is deemed to be about (women's frustrations .. emerging sexual freedom .. awakening) if it includes an episode of child seduction positively, then that is what it is and is unavoidably problematic morally. Art is not necessarily advocacy - child pornographers would say artistic depictions of child sexuality aren't necessarily advocacy.
