You've got it right there, life is a contradiction, we live them from one to another. As for my family, at the end of the day it comes down to the guardians and the person involved. I would not want my child involved because of the possible ramifications. If the guardians have not breached their duty of care, and the child was not forced, then who's to say they should no be allowed. The moral majority? Again it comes down to morals, and whose sets you apply. Its clear that there is some support for him, therefore its is not a clear cut right and wrong. My morals differ to others, just because I dont see anything morally wrong with mandatory detention for example, doesn't mean the next person wont. I believe in polygamy but in the eyes of the law I am morally and legally prevented. Like you said Pat, its 'IMO'. There is also the rather weak, but semi valid argument that 'if you dont like it dont watch it' that is appiled to half the crap that is put on TV these days. If it offends your morals, remove yourself from it. Felix
