Work Filter

The good news: I still have a "work filter" in place (a post on my filter theory is about due). That is, there are things that I will think and maybe even begin to say, but will stop myself from saying because I am at work. The bad news: my blog filter is far more lenient, and you are reading this. It is recommended that you stop now and head on over to my link log or something, it's safe and geeky there.

At work today an article was discussed about an older women who posed as a boy and had an affair with a teenage girl. There was a lawsuit when the girl found out. My comment was, "interesting strategy." I refrained from elaborating. The older women's strategy must have been, until she got caught, to simply not whip it out, because she would not have had the expected it to whip. In that way she may have carried on for some time with necking, heavy petting, and maybe even some munchy munchy without getting caught. The girl, having not experienced a teenage boys fumbling before, didn't know enough to be suspicious. My unspoken thought was that a male in his 20s or 30s, with the desire to suck some teenage puss, might masquerade as an older women and get in the pants of a bi-curious young women.

In typing the above I am reminded of a case I read about a couple years ago where this guy was being sent to jail for having written of illegal acts in his personal diary. Not nearly so public a place as this. Then again, it was his parole officer who found the diary, and you guessed it, he was out on good behavior from a sex crime conviction. But still, freedom of speech is freedom of speech. We can't truly say that we support freedom of opinion until we accept that others might voice an opinion drastically different from our own, and that is ok. Yes, I'm paraphrasing the West Wing. I prefer a fantasy version of US government where the president is a Nobel prize winning economist to the polar opposite that is our reality.
