Did I say that (hic)?

The low conviction rate for rape cases is in the news again - I have posted about this before (29/3/06) and don't intend to rehash what I said then, but I certainly think that the idea which is now being floated of being allowed to escape the consequences of your words or actions by maintaining that you were too drunk to know what you were doing is a dangerous road to go down. I can't see how you would be able to restrict it to females and consent to sex - even if that were the right thing to do.
