Page 2 Penguin News, February 14, 2014 Penguin News Comment by Editor Lisa Watson

THE philosopher Voltaire’s musing: “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it,” is admirable however there are moments when I can sympathise with science fiction writer John Scalzi: “If you want me to treat your ideas with more respect, get some bet- ter ideas.” Because there are times when one knows with absolute certainty that another’s ideas are horrifically, scarily wrong. One of those is the (hopefully minority) view that some teenage minors subjected to sexual abuse from adults should, “take some responsibility,” for what they have been, or may be, subject to. Bearing in mind the very robust comments on the matter from the Senior Magistrate over past months, one might confidently assume he has educated to the contrary, the minds of the ignorant or misguided. Unfortunately hav- ing heard stories of alternative opinions recently it seems that is still not the case. If Mr Gumsley will forgive my paraphrasing his comments, a child is a Interceptors, on the site at , designed to repel water child by law and it is incumbent on the adult to take responsibility for his while absorbing oil based substances.
