"... I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild paedophilia, and can't find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today."  (Richard Dawkins)

Thanks.  Sorry about the typo.  There seems to be some tech issue at work here.

Personally, I think that Richard Dawkins is an imbecile who is in love with his own opinions, and the sound of his own voice.  "Mild Pedophilia" my foot.  He's just waaaay off base on this one, if you ask me.
