LOL, we think alike! Just got into a heated debate w/ my other half about him, too. Somehow he equates my dislike of Card's books based on the politics and unbelievable premise (What sane parents would allow their government to forcibly remove kids from their family to be placed in the military at incredibly young ages to be trained as a weapon? Most parents would've revolted long ago, IMHO....) of the series with the "immorality" of T-cest stories about consensual relationships between close "siblings" who may not even be biologically related (So, if Cyndi and Bobby Brady fell in love and wanted to marry, is that wrong?). I don't share his opinions on the subjects.

The allegations against Cosby are another thing, however. To me, this just seems like another money-chaser looking to get publicity and money, rather than an actual offense having been committed. Why is this JUST coming out NOW??!! I'm aware that this woman said something about it several years ago, but now suddenly we're hearing about it again? Just sounds off, to me.
