- Imagine what it would be like if you were "different", and it seemed that
- everyone thought you were an awful person, who did terrible things, even if
- they didn't know anything at all about you. And even worse, imagine what
- it would be like if people hated you, not for anything you did, but merely
- for the way you thought about things.
-
- This is why NAMBLA was formed.

- The "age of consent" is a very arbitrary creation which varies anywhere
- between 12 and 21 years of age.

-
- The only kiddie porn business in this country is run by the U.S. Postal
- System to entrap lonely people who don't know any better. (Sorry to get
- "political".) 60 Minutes did a story about some 60 year old farmer in
- Nebraska (?) who got busted this way.

-
- It might be more exciting to tell you that our meetings are filled
- with sex and pornography, but they're not. I expect that what goes
- on at our meetings is not much different than what happens when you
- get together with your friends.
-
- If someone is feeling down because of school or work or is just
- feeling lonely we try to give them support and let them know that
- we've all felt that way too. And, we might talk about some "hot"
- new character we've seen on TV or in the movies, but this is about
- as rowdy as it gets.

-
- >I hope I have not offended anyone, but I am a bit curious.
-
- I'm sorry if I went "ballistic" with my last posting. No offense
- meant, none taken. Besides, I cherish your curiosity.
-
- >Thank you for any information.
-
- Any time. Thanks for asking.
