I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

How would that even work? How do you train a cat to go to the place you want and take the drugs to a particular person? Hmm, given the results I guess the answer is you don't, lol.

First cat drops raw coca leaf in shed. Processed into a mash of some kind. Second cat deposits that mash into the barrel. Dog moves product into shed. Cat stands guard during the evaporation process. First round of processed product is moved by teams through underground passage.

You make it explicitly clear that they are not, under any circumstances, allowed to deliver drugs to that person while you're out shopping.

I assumed going in that this would be about, like, female fraternal twins separated at birth or something else where they're essentially totally unrelated except for genes which are irrelevant in that situation. But nope, parent child.

I just realized I have literally no idea whether or not incest is illegal so I checked. Apparently: yes it is (with a sibling, ancestor, or descendant).

It's not really something that normally comes up.

Sure, absolutely

This is also why TOUGH ON X is usually a one-way ratchet

Often makes me think that all laws should sunset so they have to be backed again if good rather than repealed if bad. Then I think about what would happen to the good laws that sunset during, say, 2019.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I think laws against banging your relatives are pretty much only enforced as an "add on" to stuff like rape charges. At least for my state it includes adopted or foster "descendants" under 18, which seems like a good provision.

Looking this up I also found the map of states where you can marry your first cousin (Aunt/Uncle's kids), and many of them are not the states you'd think!

What I'd think is marrying your first cousin is pretty much legal everywhere except the United States of America?

What is interesting is that medieval Western Europe actually had very strict laws (or at least canon law) against incest, sometimes to a ridiculous extent, like you weren't allowed to marry anyone that was demonstrably related to you in any way (to the nth degree). This was relaxed in later centuries, but first cousins still are not technically allowed to marry in the Catholic Church. It's where a lot of the West's instinctive aversion towards cousin incest (unlike sibling incest which has always been taboo everywhere) comes from.

How much of that was a result of contests between isolated peasants and nobility over who could get the most inbred?

There's a book on this subject that I would highly recommend, The Weirdest People in the World by Joseph Henrich. He makes a convincing case that the Church in Western Europe during Carolingian times set out to undermine the traditional tribes and clans in order to weaken resistance against Christianization and bolster its own authority. Regardless of their motivation, by the time the Middle Ages get into full swing, you see ecclesiastical authorities promoting a particular set of family values, including monogamy, exogamy, requiring the consent of both partners for marriage (so that control shifts from the family to the Church), and so on. This seems to have had a whole bunch of unintended knock-on effects since then, such as the murder rate in Western Europe suddenly plummeting during the 15th century.

What you say about isolated peasants and the nobility is interesting in that context, because this model of the nuclear family did indeed first take hold among the urban middle class, with both extremes of the class spectrum holding out for much longer.
An interesting factoid that he mentions in his book is that, to this day in the United States, counties where a bigger percentage of the white population is descended from Ireland and/or the Scottish Highlands will also have a higher murder rate - even though by now, in the 'home countries' themselves that clan culture has all but disappeared.

Pope Hilarius II

In re: incest law, IIRC incest as such (sex with close relatives) isn't illegal in Belgium for the same reason that it's not illegal to consume human flesh - namely that most circumstantial acts you have to perform to get there are already deeply illegal. In case of incest, rape, sexual assault, physical/psychological abuse and performing sex acts with a minor are already on the books as criminal offences. Hence, no need for a separate incest law. The same is true for cannibalism, since murder, assault and battery as well as grave/corpse desacration are already illegal.
