A response to a letter-to-the-editor, entitled, "Our society makes sex too easy for kids"

I just read a letter-to-the-editor in The Columbus Dispatch which got my blood boiling some, and I felt the need to respond with a letter of my own. It likely won't get published because it's a tad longer than the paper typically likes it, but in any case, I thought I'd share it with readers. Here it is: This letter is in response to the June 26th letter-to-the-editor, written by Wendy Kirk, and titled "Our society makes sex too easy for kids." Ms. Kirk starts her letter by saying, "Why do we as a society fight so hard for our children to have sex?" I think that's exaggerating matters just a touch.

Robertson likely got into trouble at school for writing a dirty short story in English class, one that contained numerous grammatical errors. The title of the story was probably something along the lines of, "We Did The Sex." Perhaps Robertson's next venture should be to open an adult store by the name of "Doing Sex As God Intended." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/11/boy-sco...
