It will be drawn at a different place for each of the (two or more) participants and for each and every observer. Therefore... Why draw the line at all? Is your love for one person diminished because you also love another? Is your love for one person diminished by having or not having sex with them? If you love somebody, set them free. Free of stupid definitions, and stupid limitations of behavior. Sunny -- {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny (Ms. Sunny Kirsten)
