Tak - you're missing my point. Normalcy is determined, not by a societal standard anymore, but by what an active minority can shame the majority into first tolerating then accepting then embracing. Tak - if you don't see this pattern, with abortion, with homosexuality, with vulgarity on television and movies, with violence, please take the blinders off. It's the same old argument, used against the social standards - accusations of intolerance, hatred, bigotry, etc. when those labels themselves are intolerant of a moral standard that some of us desperately want to uphold, because we've studied enough history to know where the current path leads...
60 years ago, homosexuality was repulsive, and even as late as 15 years ago was listed in the medical codes book as a diagnosible mental illness. Now it is embraced.
Yes, there are pockets of abuse and injustice. But I would say that anarchy is abuse and injustice as well.
Here's something else to think about - power, control - NAMBLA violates those tenants that we hold as a society. But think about the decay of moral standards that have thousands of years of history - in such a short period of time. We are on a slippery slope. There are arguments in court right now allowing CGI child porn as protected speech. There are arguments in court right now for men who married 13 year old girls and impregnated them before they were even 14 years old, who are using recent court rulings to get their convictions overturned...
If you can't see it, you're not looking.
