>>When she's an adult, sure. But my daughter is 7 and won't be an adult for a decade.
>>There are reasons for age-of-consent laws. I don't care how savvy a 12 or 14 or 16 year old female is, she's still a minor and still shouldn't be put in harm's way.

the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
