"Wanna Bet?" Yeah, my money's on the Supreme Court bending over backwards on that Zero Tolerance thing. "classically beautiful" in a literal way-- what classical picture-- I'm thinking Poussin and up into the baroque-- was complete without a few naked toddlers strewn about? To reflect the light probably. I'm probably the most angry now because this issue has made me feel and think like a pervert-- what else is it when we try to put our minds in that gutter to figure out what is wrong or not, when really wrong, really twisted, sets the internal alarms off without even trying. See, I agree totally with you VirtualSite-- I just don't think it's a workable rule of law. In the best of all possible worlds-- that one in which I have a backbone-- Child pornography, even totally digitally produced, whould be a cear picture of a child being sexually abused, or obviously inticed into being sexually abused. And even the latter -- if they were cautionary tales and very tame [your cliched guy with a bag of candy] --might be all right. Maybe. Oh probably not.
