What a pile of crap that public opinion upon whether minors should be treated as adults in cases of murder, assault, or conspiracy is celebrated as free speech, whereas any opinion upon a minor's ability to consent to sex is considered as either deep heresy or high moral treason.

The darkly cloaked Powers That Be (PTB) are so desperate to protect their exclusive and privileged right to molest minors (and younger children), that any free speech which could normalize sexual congress with minors (a privilege that they consider to be their exclusive perverted domain) has been made a virtual felony.

How excruciating must be their embarrassment that Jeffrey Epstein, one of the PTB's most cherished sons, was so publicly and rudely exposed.

[I use the term "minor" to refer primarily to underage persons between the ages of 12 and 18.]

In every pre-Christian society, minors were legally considered to be adults!
