Pedophile Island (This Is Safe for Work)

Just when you think you have heard it all, something new appears. Last week, I found a rather peculiar article on the Huffington Post. Douglas Hughes, a Republican candidate for California Governor, proposed the creation of a "Pedophile Island." It is exactly what you think it is. Hughes wants to ship all people convicted of pedophilia to an island -Santa Rosa Island- for the rest of their lives. This is legitimate. He really believes this is a good idea. Don't believe me? It's on his campaign website. (I particularly love the use of capitalization mid-sentence; it's very reminiscent of hate group websites.)

To give the abridged version of the plan, he wants to get out a handful of pedophiles from prison and have them set up the essential services (government, police, firefighters, sanitation, roads, medicine, etc.) -assuming they know how to do those things- and they would lead the society for all of the people to come in as time progresses.

Here's the flaw with the plan: it does not differentiate between male and female pedophiles. If a male pedophile on the island and a female pedophile meet, one thing leads to another, add nine months (plus a few years), the situation that lead them to the island loops right back around (but, this time, in a controlled environment).

You cannot make this stuff up.
