How about this case, France apparently doesn't have any age of consent laws but are trying to set it at 13.

So who among men in American entertainment and politics has NOT been accused of sexual misconduct? I have Tom Hanks and Danny Devito. I think maybe that's all.

I'm looking at it as a Rightie and Leftie thing.
So far it's leaning 90% to the Left. Not
a surprise to anybody. Charlie Rose? Can
you get further Left than that?

Well of course
Many conservatives are ok with people that break the law as long as the law breaker is a conservative
I take a different approach
I am against anybody that breaks the law regardless of politics

Politicians represent a better representation of actual demographics.

Hollywood makes the news because they are all high profile. Since the right has always said Hollywood is full of liberals they can't pretend it is just normal distribution.

It is full of Libs. The guy I went to
HS with who moved there as a
conservative and became a producer
verified it. He's been a Lib for 30
years because he wouldn't get work
if he wasn't. He claims it's a guilt thing,
they feel so guilty for making tons of
money for doing almost nothing to earn
it, being a bleeding heart Lib makes them
deal with it easier.

France used to have a hodgepodge of laws about consent. 21 if a status of prostitute was known or obvious but 15 in most cases. No restrictions at all in French law as to consanguinity. Famous situation decades ago where a father and adult daughter were not permitted to check into a hotel room with one bed in Austria but were permitted to do so in France.

Hopes fading for missing Argentinian submarine with 44 aboard.

I would say longest serving Democrat Congressman John Conyers is farther left.

Commissioner responsible for Las Vegas wants to ban private cars from the Strip because gawping tourists cause massive traffic jams

On one hand, the Strip is just a traffic jam. Watching old movies or TV shows, pre-1980s, where they could actually drive down the Strip, you wish there was that old age.

On the other hand, totally unworkable and insane.

The Strip is a 'special economic zone'. One can drink there, meet Mr. Right there, or have a fender bender there with a topless motorcycle cop. Well, that is what tourists think at least. And Mary Caperton Morton, author of Aerial Geography, did indeed meet her Mr. Right on the Strip.

Yes, its a traffic jam and security at the Venetian makes it worse intentionally. Trucks carrying fresh shrimp need to avoid the strip and leave it for tourists. There are miles of underground tunnels in Vegas so let the strip be a tourist oriented traffic jam. Heck if the Strip gets much worse, call Elon Musk.
