Actually, as her father I think she has quite a bit to do with me. As a young woman she is growing up in a world where violence against women is widespread. I think that has quite a bit to do with all of us. As a father and as a responsible adult it is my duty to object strongly to any behaviour that promotes or condones violence against women. In mentioning that I have a 13-year-old daughter, I was providing context for my remarks. I have read Lasse's explanation and accepted it. No problem. However, I do find the tone of your remarks offensive. > > Oh, I guess you're objecting to the language? I agree.

Are you? > > keith whaley Oddly enough, we don't censor our daughter's reading, although we do monitor and provide guidance. She encounters far worse language in the school yard every day. Politics is a daily topic of discussion in our household. Our daughter is also rather well-informed on the issues surrounding firearms. Sorry to disappoint you. (Incidentally, I'm not one of those small-l liberals you dumped on in another thread. I am a big-L Leftist, and never more proud of it than when I see drivel of the sort you've been spouting.)
