Re: RE: The Mystic Martin
I suppose as an interesting aside to this discussing, I listened to an American law professor on the radio discussing our latest Supreme court 'Sex Clubs" decision.
Her gist was this. With sex clubs now legal, there is nothing illegal with parents or guardians bringing their children (14 years old and up) to sex clubs and encouraging them to participate. As long as the parent or guardian is not involved (with those specific children anyway) there is nothing illegal about the situation.
She said she had heard of some pedofile groups readying plans to organize trips to Canada to take advantage of the clubs, the age of consent at 14 and the legality of it (as long as one is not in a position of power, sex with minors 14 and older is okay.)
Now, this is particularly the Canada I want, or a Canadian value I might want to defend. Might even be a ruling where the application of the NWC would be useful. Or a law.
I think time will tell what the fall out from this, and perhaps other judicial decisions are. Sometimes they aren't as simplistic as we think.
I carry a can of bear spray every time I go hiking. I don't ever intend on using it. But I'll tell ya, that one time a grizzly bear came up to me on the trail, I was sure glad I had it available. And I used it.
