You Just Kicked Carl out of the Klub

[Henry Musikar]

You aren't perchance suggesting that there be no practical separation
of children and adults. If you are, then how did you feel about
Slothrop and Bianca before the recent (to me) revelatory analysis of
Bianca's age? Children are not just people who have read less than
adults. There are many things that I enjoy because as a (comparative)
adult I have a temperament that has been tempered. Are you advocating
exposing a child to intimate communications "on the hallway phones and
the email in their studies?"

Sure, there are kids that have been exposed to all manner of "adult" 
experiences, misbehavior, and mindless pleasures. War and abuse, for 
instance; movies with "graphic" violence and sex. Why the hurry 
to bring them into the priveledged club of adulthood?
