And do you hold the same view of male circumcision? Do we prosecute all the Jews?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Gotta jump in. *Totally* different thing, I think.

As a practicing isexual, I can say that I have no beef with my (Catholic) parents who had me snipped because they thought it was the hygienic thing to do. They weren't trying to make sure that I avoided sin/fun -- and they didn't -- rather that our family doctor had some funny, unscientific ideas. Jewish circumcision rite may not seem like the smartest thing now, but I'm not sure that it materially reduced any male's fun quotient.

OK, ruin my weekend. Say "Jim, if only you knew!!!"

I think that female circumcision is a whole different beast, fun reduction-wise. You might say that there are some tribes who -- in the vein of tribal infanticide -- just don't know any better. But those tribes now have cell phones and satellite dishes.
