Letter to the Editor

Confused

In America we don’t allow minors or early teens to vote. Why? Because they are too young to do it responsibly. We don’t allow minors or early teens to own firearms. Why? Because they are not old enough to act responsibly with them. We don’t allow youngsters to buy alcohol or tobacco. Why? Simply because they are too young to drink responsibly and tobacco is harmful to them. We don’t let youngsters drive cars. Why? Because they can’t do it responsibly or well.

We try to keep the youngsters away from sexually explicit and pornographic material. Why? Because it gives them a warped view of one of God’s greatest blessings to mankind, a beautiful, intimate, fulfilling, lifelong, monogamous love relationship with a person of the opposite sex. It’s all common sense.
