Getting to Mordor

(YouTube link)

You’ve heard it said that the Lord of the Rings saga would have been much shorter and simpler if our heroes had just rode their giant eagles into Mordor. But, just as one does not simply walk into Mordor, neither does one simply fly in, either. See, giant eagles are like the Wicked Witch's flying monkeys: only used when the plot needs to hurry up and cover a lot of ground that earlier in the story took too much time. Brotherhood Workshop brings us a chapter of an alternative version of Lord of the Rings in LEGO. -via Geeks Are Sexy

Because I'm a nerd...The Eagles felt the same way the Ents did. They were not wanting to get involved as they thought it was a human problem that didn't concern them.

I'm having a hard one with this question. Ethically, it's disgusting but I'm not sure the govt. should interfere with 2 consenting adults pigs.

I find the Woody Allen offense a lot more disturbing than this but maybe that's because we know more of the story.

I would suggest that since he is only 7 years older than she, and she was 16 at the time he married her mother (he was 23, and what was the mother thinking?) he was never really a father-figure to her. If not, and probably not, a controlling/guiding/authoritative figure in her life, they should not be charged, since he was not a father to her. Had he been 17 years older, and may have been a father-figure to her, that would be different. That would be my view on the legal situation.
Having sex with your wife's daughter, your step-daughter, just isn't right, whatever the age or relationship. Even if no parental/authoritative relationship really exists, he was still probably taking advantage of his step-daughter.
Over all, leave them alone to seek therapy as needed for their own situations.

In a perfect justice system, this would be decided on a case-by-case basis. But you and I both know that such discretion is what got these two charged in the first place. They happened to be arrested by a police department who adheres to the letter instead of the spirit of the law. WHO makes the call is often more important than the facts of the case.
