<she does not admit guilt, but admits the state has enough evidence for a conviction.
===================
Preleski credited Van Buren for pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charges

sounds to me like she pleaded 'no contest' to the charges as opposed to 'guilty' (which is what jenna bush did I beleive?)

hmmm a post I just made on current events has some bearing where I questiont he laws that 'once you are 18 you are competent to make judgments'. it is quite arbitrary. . . .

while I think Bil Mahr is a total inconsistent (his gun argument, versus other views of his) and ignorant (stateing the ABM test never once worked, and data in his gun argument) asshole, I do suspect that the age of consent laws were just politicians saying 'don't mess with our daughters'. Okay thats fine but why don't they just say that and not apply it to males?

joking aside - Are they telling us that either of those two boys were forced into that situation and could not get out of it? Personally I suspect one of the students didn't get the grade he wanted at the end of the year and came foreward. No doubt they knew what they were doing and should accept some responibility. Likewise the teacher really should have known better. This teacher does help illustrate my point about the laws that say '18 is the magical age of competent judgement'. She is 37 and hasn't reached that point at least in this case.
