You CAN wait, Miley

I've written (somewhat hysterically) about Miley Cyrus before, back when the infamous Vogue spread hit the airwaves. I realize that Hollywood is even more hysterical than I am and that this probably isn't true. However, if Miss Cyrus really is dating Justin Gaston, that is a problem. Even if this young man is attending church with Miley's family, there's still the matter of his being TWENTY YEARS OLD. DATING A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD. Where I come from that will get you time in the pokey and a righteous ass-whupping. I find it odd that none of the articles mentioned this little legal hindrance.

This is a sticky issue - freedom to choose who to date/love/sleep with/tie up is important to me. However, adults are equipped mentally and emotionally to make decisions like that. If I'm any indication, fifteen-year-olds are idiots.

Wow, a 15 year old with a 20 year old. Why would a 20 year old EVER want to be with a 15 year old? I mean, talk about a maturity difference.
