I pray we're not heading further down a slippery slope with the claims of actress Mackenzie Phillips that, as an adult, she carried on a decade-long consensual affair with her own father. (A child was slaughtered as a result, most likely to hide their actions.) It should be noted that her father isn't around to defend himself - and given his drug abuse, how could he really be sure what happened back then anyway - and that Phillips is promoting a book. Her sister Chynna backs up the claim by saying Mackenzie told her about long before a book was in the works. My analysis of the larger issues and public reaction is over at The Opine Editorials, if you can stomach more of this topic.
