skeeter, >FF, I think most people, regardless of age, are as repulsed, if not more repulsed, by the idea of being raped by the same sex.< I agree with you 100%, but that assumes you have a clear understanding of the typical behavior of same sex individuals. I suspect that a lot of old folks were flat out baboons on the issue of homosexual behavior and pedophilia. I could easily be wrong because I can't read minds, but I know that it's often a massive error to judge people of the past bv the standards of the present. By most standards the founders were brilliant, brave, and great men, but some of the them were too stupid to see that slavery was intrinsically immoral and actually owned them. It's hard to explain that. But what we see as obvious, is not always so obvious in a completely different environment with completely different norms and understanding.
