The God-fearing, salt-of-the-earth folks from another generation that Ex-Rep. Mark Foley was presumably raised by had a very practical philosophy about sex. They summed it up with the folk-saying "Just Don't Scare The Horses." This means that as consenting adults do what you will, but practice some common sense about it.
Here is how Foley could have avoided all that messy business chatting with an under-age Congressional Page that has gotten him into so much trouble.
How the IM's actually went down:
Maf54 (8:10:40 PM): take it outAnd so on, and on, and on, and on...
Xxxxxxxxx (8:10:54 PM): brb...my mom is yelling
Maf54 (8:11:06 PM): ok
Xxxxxxxxx (8:14:02 PM): back
Maf54 (8:14:37 PM): cool hope se didnt see any thing
Xxxxxxxxx (8:14:54 PM): no no
What Foley really should have done:
Maf54 (8:10:40 PM): take it outI know the concept of personal responsibility is strange to most people but it is what it is, sport.
Xxxxxxxxx (8:10:54 PM): brb...my mom is yelling
Maf54 (8:11:06 PM): Yur mom???? How old r u?
Xxxxxxxxx (8:11:09 PM): im 16 lol.
(8:11:10 PM): Maf54 has placed Xxxxxxxxx on the IGNORE list.
That's right. Keep it age-appropriate and keep it in your pants.

I wouldn't expect such behavior from a Republican. I thought we re-elected Bush to protect us from gay people.

Bush is doing fine on that front. He has done nothing to protect us from pedos, which is a seperate issue and has nothing to do with Foley's orientation.
