Further evidence that I am getting way too old or the world is moving way too fast, or both:
RICHMOND, Va. - State legislators passed a law Saturday that would require adults who French kiss a child younger than 13 to register as a sex offender.
Those convicted of tongue-kissing a child would be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The House of Delegates passed the legislation 96-1 and the Senate 39-0.
The bill now heads to Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, who said he supports the legislation.
Delagate Riley Ingram, R-Hopewell, introduced the bill on behalf of a woman whose 10-year-old daughter was French-kissed by the 62-year-old husband of her babysitter.
French-kissing a 10-year-old. Just tie the scumbag down near some anthills and put some honey on his tongue. Why bother the law?

Leo, you're getting more like me every day (with the ants and honey)...and it's got ME smiling.

Great minds DO think alike.

This is just a wild guess, but don't they probably already have laws against child molesting in Virginia? Wouldn't this fit somewhere under that "umbrella" so to speak?
I know if it happened to my daughter, the 62 year old dude would never be able to speak to her again, literally.
