airshipidea? But the problem I'm having with the above article is that too many people are misinterpreting what pedophilia is. Yes, I agree that kids should not be getting married at 10 years old, but the English Common Law also agrees with me in that regard. It is no secret that the American people are not tolerant to teenage girls of middle school or high school age straying outside their own age circles to find romance. However, even though Dr. Ben Carson's parents didn't have a marriage made in heaven, even Dr. Ben Carson would be very appalled if someone were to imply that his father was a pedophile. Proponents of this SB 48 are seeking to mirror the minimum marriageable age to the ages of consent in every state. Such a course of action was tried in the Netherlands so many decades ago. That is, before 1990, the age of consent in Holland was 21 years old and the law there made it virtually impossible for anyone to wed before the age of 21. These laws failed in Holland. They are going to fail terribly in the United States of America if they are ratified in every state. In a few short words, if SB 48 and similar laws pass all over the nation, there will be more people needlessly in prison, on the sex offender registries and on welfare. How can anyone call that good?
