Ignoring Society's Rules, Like Normal

EVEN PEOPLE IN RUSSIA know about the Duggars, presumably, America's largest and most interesting nuclear family, not counting the Kardashians and perhaps a few others. Get married, have twenty kids, get your own reality TV show. Works every time. But not always the way it was intended. Many if not most teen age siblings engage in sex play, since time immemorial. Simple fact of humanity. Its "normal" for teen age sliblings to do this, since so many do it, whether or not we like it, whether or not we allow it, whatever our attitude about it. Our response is our choice. Sometimes, perps become guilt ridden, and confess. Most folks just go on with life, and push the memory away. The question is, how are we going to, how do we, as a society, deal with it? Many many Americans have been on the Duggars case from day one, for having too many kids, or for capitalizing on it, take your pick. Environmental and moral considerations, don't you know. Now Michelle Duggar and hubby stand accused of having permitted then covered up their son's sex play actions with his younger sisters, then having done too little or nothing about it, and so on, and so forth. And of course, everybody in America weighs in with an opinion. The Duggars caved, feeling compelled to speak up in their own defense. Their description of how they dealt with it; the prayer, the counseling, the time away from home for the "troubled" boy, it all sounds good, just fine. Obviously, good people, a good family, dealing with a problem properly. It might be well to remember, though, that a teen age male who is sexually attracted to his own sisters and does something about it is not emotionally or mentally "ill", doesn't need counseling, and is not a criminal, who needs exclusion and incarceration - unless we say so. What he is, is a perfctly normal human animal, who is/was selectively ignoring some of society's rules and trying to get away with it for what he perceives as personal gain. Sounds like most of the rest of us, frankly.
