Of course, when JS Mill first suggested that the aim of government was
maximum employment and economic progress it was equally shockingly out of
tune with the times; and yet now it is the central aim of most democractic
governments! So these paeds could be on to something. And, hell, why do any
of us dare assume they are paeds anyway rather than offering this radical
program for the sake of the children? Are we not too cynical? O tempera, o
mores!

Yes. What if they enjoy it? Why should they be prevented of the pleasures of
human sexual contact? This is surely a specieist prejudice elevating human
over animal rights - when in fact we should be compelled to have connection
with eager beavers and the like, whether we like it or not.
