Yeah AKA Smith. I have read a lot of your past letters, and have found that you and I have very similar opinions on almost every issues.

BTW, Don't worry about my sister though. She is now a successful 30 year old publicist in Manhattan, unmarried without kids, and she plans on staying that way (and the BC pill incident happened over 13 years ago). But I have probably said a lot more about her than I should have.

I assume you are talking about anal and oral! Yes, the consent rules still apply, especially in the former. And all children under the age of 16 are off limits in every sexual capacity to adults (anyone over the age of 18).

"I still think we need to draw a line, when we analyze motive, between what was intended and what was the result."

You are responsible for the outcome of your actions regardless of the intent, and if you were drunk or otherwise intoxicated, then you are still responsible.

the rest of your argument is intriguing though, but I am uncertain what point it is that you are trying to make. That pedophiles do horrible things, but they don't mean to?

I'm will to entertain that theory, but I think most pedophiles act on impulse without much thought towards the consequences of their actions. In any case they must be held responsibility for what they do, and serve a lot of time.

I'm sorry, but I really don't care what pedophiles' motives are. I just want them to either acknowledge that they have a problem and seek life long treatment in order to avoid ever hurting anyone, or get thrown in prison if they ever act upon their impulses.

Though I am interested in spotting them as early as possible, and getting them treatment as soon as possible.

"We can listen in order to collect information, which I think is worthwhile."

I agree, but it's even more worthwhile to get them (the pedophiles) to listen to us (decent people that want to put an end to pedophilia), which is something that pedophiles are mostly loath to do.

And I fear that the only way we might be able to get pedophiles to listen, is to put a few bullets into a few of their brains.

I did not mean to imply that the line of dialog that you are supplying is unnecessary. But it is a little hard to figure out what your point is something.

And any response from me on the topic of pedophilia is going to be harsh (some might even say militant).

The use of insanity pleas in the criminal justice system has gotten a bad rep, and for good reason, as most people would be of the opinion that psychopaths, sociopaths, and pedophiles should not get leniency. At this juncture in our societal development, I suggest we removed the leniency, and get the prognosis of insanity to work in our (decent people's) favor.

For example; the next time an offender gets convicted of a crime that had demonstrated psychopathic, sociopathic, or pedophiliac behavior, I suggest that after the guilty verdict is handed down, but before sentencing, the convicted individual be forced to go before a psychiatric review board, where the board determines the convicted individuals likely chance of recidivism. In the reviewing process I would have the individual be put on polygraph machines, and go through days of questioning and analysis before the psychiatric review board gives its opinion. And if the individual is considered to be a high risk candidate for recidivism, then I would use that as grounds to either double the guilty sentence or even make it a life sentence. We know enough about how to spot psychopaths, sociopaths, and pedophiles, we know enough about how their minds work, and we have gotten pretty good at recognizing how likely they are to act upon their illnesses again. I say it is time we started using all that knowledge to make America, Americans, and the world, safer.

"By the way, the Broadstreet woman's scarf is Shiaparelli pink. She would look better if she were black and her nose not quite so pointy."

I couldn't agree more. actually it would be cool if the Broadsheet cartoon character would change periodically, or better yet rotate through characters from week to week.

The current Broadsheet character isn't bad, she's cute actually, but men need variety. Sorry Honey (my wife), but it's true (and as we agreed I can look, appreciate, and admire as long as I don't touch).

However, back on topic, I am curious to know what the list of the industry's worst discriminators is, and how the very conscientious women consumers are going to respond to that list?

"Clothing should be accessible and meet the customers' wishes and needs."

No, I think most people buy high fashion to impress. I know that's why I buy high fashion. I'm a Paul Smith man myself, and though a tie feels terrible, I still put one on to work my suits.

Wow, could you work that, AKA Smith? My wife's Asian, and I don't think she could work that. My daughter could though, if the dress was shrunk down to her size, and in fact I have taken her to get photoed in kimonos quite often.

The woman in the dress is clearly of European heritage, but she still works it. Nothing is more impressive than crossing cultures in fashion. I once saw Asian women in traditional African garbs, and they were hot. And I have already given my opinion of the Burqinis, and how I think they will be a hit. And in my opinion women of African heritage look really cute in western style (lady's) business suits, but that's just my straight, male opinion.
