1) age of consent by Anonymous Citizen on May 6, 2005
It's hard for me to believe that a 17 year old w/ normal mental abilities can make an informed choice as to whether or not they are going to have sex. This is a dumb bill and I can't believe that the author can't find something a little more impotant then this to make into a law. Thats part of the problem today, law makers are so punishment orientated. You can't do anything anymore w/o fear of going to prison. Another state now has a law that if you kill someone in an auto accident you may be charged and go to prison. No recklessness, drugs or alcohol needed. Just that a person was in a bad accident. That's why we call them ACCIDENTS.
