I just don't have the time to get back into this at the moment -- I'm a bit preoccupied with drawing up a lighting layout for a new university communcations center building -- complete with TV studios. So this post will, of necessity, have to be short. Perhaps I can get into more detail several hours from now.
Others are making excellent points & contributions anyway.
@lmckenzie -- re: the ACLU position on KP - for now I'll just refer you to my responses in the other thread. A Clintion-esque non-denial denial is not a denial. Saying that "we don't support KP" -- and then going on to effectively say that it should be made legal......that's nothing more than a great example of how oiling oneself well prior to squeezing through a sewer manhole might help to keep the......dirt......off. While, of course -- denying that the dirt is dirty.
But I have to give you credit, mckenzie: you don't use the tactic of going for the personal-level attack. At least I haven't seen you do that. Perhaps we can discuss something.
@mickma -- I don't have the time to deal with your obessive black-helicopter-style fantasies in regards to conspiratorial "neocons" at the moment. No doubt, when you sleep you have recurring nightmares about leering, moustache-twirling neocons in the neighborhood -- hiding behind your bushes, peeking into your windows, trying to figure out how best to ruin all of your fun. Don't worry -- there isn't a neocon boogeyman hiding in your closet at midnight. There's no need to hide under the covers -- or under the bed. Besides -- getting under the bed is potentially dangerous in and of itself. There might be a neocon lurking there in the darkness.
Quote - rreynolds -- I seem to recall that another law had a rider that made such images illegal and cannot recall which one, but it seems to have been done in a way that did not contest the earlier Supreme Court ruling.
If that's true, then it's news to me. I haven't heard of any mollifying legislation actually being passed. And even if it has -- it has yet to be tested by the courts sigh.
Well -- back to the communications center. Y'all have fun without me.
