Yay to Amelie for taking money away from the Olympics - not that it matters as the public will foot the difference in the form of Taxation - direct or indirect.
As for the Freud 'wanting to do the nasty with Mum and Dad' - my initial thought was eeeww also, but after a while I started working on my own hypothesis based on childrens needs and wants from a childs point of view, rather than the same view from a Freudian adult. My basis is that children are taught that they have a male parent and a female parent, the child then learns that the supposed norm is they will grow up and marry someone of the opposite sex whom they love - to the child the ideal candidate to marry is the parent of the opposite sex to them. This was a scenario that happened with Angel when her son was 3 years old. I think it is adults who then project the sexual nature onto the innocent desire for love and caring.
Sadly I don' get to learn much about Freud anymore - my Diploma course is now Person Centered and Gestalt, not under the Psychodynamic umbrella. :-(
