Quote - I just bought several wonderful pose sets for Matt and Maddie that also work with the Daz millenium preschoolers in the clearance plus maddie Party time dress and some textures. I now have plenty with freebies and such. I have Rosie Cheeks for my daughter. My daughter just moved out from home to be near college and she loves anything Japanese and anime, so I am making her some cute pics for her bedroom. I'm female, married, with two grown daughters, so if pictures of cute kids fully dressed in party dresses offends some right-winger, nutcase, then they can haul me off to jail. Here in the US, they put people in prison for years for looking at naked kids - not just porn. It is sick, but years? My neighbor embezzled $30,000 from some doctors she worked for and this was her fourth offense. She forged checks. She got probation, no jail time, and did not have to pay the money back because the doctors sued the bank that cashed the forged checks and won. Now is that justice?

 

I consider what happened in the O.J. Simpson case to be an utter travesty of justice, too.  And I heard a statistic a number of years ago which said that the average convicted 1st-degree murderer in the US spends 4.5 years in prison for their crime.  Are those things justice?  No.

I've known of people having the book thrown at them for relatively minor crimes -- and I've seen cases where people walked off scott-free on some technicality after commiting a major crime.  I'm not even mentioning the huge percentage of serious crimes which are never solved.  This current world isn't a just one.  So these things happen; and these things will happen.

As far as "some right-winger" getting upset about lurid pictures of children -- there are plenty of persons who are solidly on the political left with exactly the same approach to the issue.  And, personally, I'll never apologize for being opposed to such images.  Right-wing status and all.

However: these days, we've lost our innocence as a culture.  I'll admit to it.  There it is.  And that's the core reason why the Coppertone girl wasn't a problem 50 years ago: and that's why she is a problem today.  Our own attitudes have driven us to extremes.  What was innocent in a former era -- isn't innocent today.
If someone sees a 35-year-old man standing near a public playground, watching the kids play -- that observer is likely going to wonder what that 35-year-old man is doing there.  And these days, unfortunately: it's with good reason.

Sure: we've gone too far the other way.  But we've painted ourselves into that crazy corner by our own actions and choices.

So lock the kids up, away out of sight -- and don't let them out into society at large until they're 18.
