That's not what he's saying at all!

Its widely agreed that many activities are not safe or healthy for kids, or probably anyone. The current people in power have convinced us that bad behavior should be enforced completely backwards, making the victim the criminal:

  • It's not the poor casino operator's fault that a devious adolescent animal tricked them into letting them gamble, it was that damn tricky kid's fault!
  • Its not the upstanding businessman running the meat packing plant's fault all these durn illegals keep fooling him into hiring them for $4/hour, its their fault for taking the job!
  • Its not the fault of the fine young man just following his natural urges that a girl got stalked and raped, it was her slutty clothes and lewd behavior that got her what she really wanted!

See what I mean? Many of our laws, including those to "save the kids" are always looking for ways to pin the wrong on the person being exploited, not the one doing the exploiting.
