Natalee Holloway and a "challenge"

Okay Tim, let's see indeed. If there's anyone in Aruba, or anyone who is very familiar with the place by virtue of having been there, who's reading this, give me an e-mail (judoknighterrant@yahoo.com). There are some questions I have, things the media haven't mentioned - either haven't the smarts to so much as consider or have to be politically correct about - and I might be able to help learn what's happened. It's pretty clear by now that she's not on the island (unless she's alive, and hiding or being hidden), and that suggests (strongly) the white slave trade our government covers for so resolutely.

Of parallel interest, significant and indicative in that regard, is the matter of the teachers who allegedly (assuming the guys were that lucky) had sex with their students. The latest case , that of Pam Turner, has men across the country looking at one another and shaking their heads in wonderment (she abused them?). Hell, we're all hoping to be abused like that.

The nation's ideology-addled - the feminists and femi-nazis, I mean - cluck in vindicated satisfaction. Others - mostly metrosexual "males" or those masquerading as such, I presume - grouse that had the teacher been a man, she would have gotten ten years. They're right of course, but it's far beside the real point of it all.

Folks, we now have proof positive that the nation and society have become completely unhinged, FUBAR, where the subject of sex is concerned. Raving radical feminism has now forced us by means of its "political correct" armlock on our legislators and courts to equate sex between an underage male and an adult female with sex between an underage female and an adult male. "Abused?" "Battery?" "Endangering the welfare of a child?" You're insane.

I happen to have insight, in that my own first sexual experience was with an older woman. She was in her forties, I was fourteen or fifteen. She happened to be a teacher, though not in my school (I was baby-sitting for her at the time). We had sex on a regular basis for several months thereafter. "Abused?" The night it happened, I had been fantasizing - for hours and without hope, I thought - sex with the beautiful and voluptuous woman. "Endangering the welfare of a child?" You must be crazy! How the hell was I hurt?

People, this has gone far enough. For what I should think would be obvious reasons, one may decide that a mature man shouldn't have sex with a girl who is under a certain age. I should think you might think that better than if he were the same age, less likely that they might get her pregnant, but what the hell, I guess you consider that the older guy has a better chance of taking advantage of his age . . . or whatever the hell you're talking about.

You can even - you have, matter of fact - make homosexualality legal and accepted. Who the hell should care? I don't know how you know what's age is right. Or wrong. You just talk to god, I guess. Both my grandmothers and my mother were sixteen when they married. I guess that makes my grandfathers and my father rapists. The grandmothers didn't seem to feel abused, both stayed married to the men who raped them more than fifty years. Mom and dad divorced, but that was about money, not sex. I was the product of rape, its seems. I can even accept that you might not want women who teach your sons to have sex with them. I'm damned if I know why you should so insistent on that (other than talking to god, of course), but the arbitrariness of it is okay, so long as you recognize it as that.

The trouble, anymore, is that you don't. And I get more scared daily of what nitwit nostrum one or the other of your ideologues and pressure groups might next impose on all of us. And me.

Oh, by the way: Mary Latourneau, another teaher who had sex with her student, has also had to two babies by her "victim . . ." She got out of prison, where we put her on account of it all, a while ago. The judge has forbidden her to see her husband (they married her 'victim" while she was in prison. Along Latourneau's route from prison, men held up signs, "I'm 18, baby - take me home."

"Insanity is relatively rare among indivicuals," Friederich Nietzsche observed, "but among societies and nations it is the rule."
