AND HERRRRRRRRRRRE WE GO

from Midwest Conservative Journal by The Editor

I thought the polyamorists would be the next “sexual minority” to get all in-your-face but maybe I was wrong:

Columbia University professor David Epstein was charged last week with incest, accused of carrying on a three-year affair with his adult daughter.

Epstein’s lawyer, Matthew Galluzzo, said that charges against his client were still “only allegations” that have not been proven.

“Academically, we are obviously all morally opposed to incest and rightfully so,” he told ABCNews.com. “At the same time, there is an argument to be made in the Swiss case to let go what goes on privately in bedrooms.”

“It’s OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home,” he said. “How is this so different? We have to figure out why some behavior is tolerated and some is not.”

Incest is still socially and legally taboo in the United States, but attitudes may be changing in other parts of the world, at least when it involves adults and not minors.

Consensual incest is legal in China, France, Israel, the Ivory Coast, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Turkey, according to a 2007 report from the Max Planck Institute in Germany.

Let’s see. Consensual? Check. What happens in the bedroom is nobody’s business? Check. Legal in other countries? Check. All the Incestuous-American community has to do now is:

(1) Start working in the one about how they were born that way and God doesn’t make mistakes.
(2) Finish with how the all-inclusive love of Jesus never turned anyone away and you know the rest of it.

They do all that and I figure that the Episcopalians will write them their own liturgy within six months. Of course, all that might complicate the baptismal covenant.
