Too bad they don't have an anti-psychosis keyboard. I figure, once my wrists start talking to me, it's time to retire.

It Takes 2 to Tango, But Only 1 To Be An Asshole
2000-02-04 14:44:21
A Maryland judge is being investigated for possible violation of the state's code of judicial conduct after telling an 11-year-old sexual assault victim that "it takes two to tango." Uh, somebody rent Lolita a few to many times?
Now this wasn't anything like a man-leaping-outta-bushes rape case. In fact the "assault" actually involved this 23-year-old internet buddy going down on the little girl in her bedroom. But still, I really doubt that oral sex was what the child had in mind when she told her chatroom friend where she lived (hello, parents!? clue: tell your kids not to give out their address, phone number, mother's maiden name, etc...). I'm betting she was scared outta her gourd, terrified that her parents would find out and even more terrified that they wouldn't... The last thing she needs is some fuckhead authority figure telling her she must have wanted it.
You know who's gonna be really pissed off in about 6 years is any guy trying to have a grown-up relationship with her-- you wanna talk about intimacy issues!
