Well, I guess that just illuminates one of the many differences between us.

Granted, I choose to deliberately ignore what most of the rest of the country is thinking most of the time.

And granted, I think there is some culpability to be acknowledged by those who may want to exist in both worlds simultaneously (ie, the Cyruses).

Still, I will not deprive my daughter of her love for Hannah Montana because Myley Cyrus and family agreed to the portrayal of Myley Cyrus that was more adult.

I tend to think it speaks more rigorously to our expectations as hypocritical adults than it does to any notion of adolescent maturity, though.

I think the whole argument is a waste of time...especially if you want to use it as some half-cocked, totally irrelevant argument against pedophilia.
