This may be machivallian(sp?) of me, but I think the means justify the ends in getting this law overturned. Don't misunderstand me, I don't approve of child porn, but my attitude towards law is that it should be "no harm, no foul". Besides, the current law went too far in my opinion. For instance, I've heard of someone who was abused as a child and uses Poser, etc for theraputic reasons to work through sa's grief and trauma. Sa doesn't share the pictures, they're all computer generated, and as mentioned it's done for theraputic reasons, and yet it was illegal just for him to have them? I remember when we lost Thorne's free fairies for a while because they were being used for child porn and he was getting flak for that. I need to go to work, so I'm going to sum up quick and then run to avoid flaming. ^_~ The government should not be our mommy. In my opinion, it is there to protect us from harm. Child porn done with real children does harm to those children. Anything done with virtual models does not harm the virtual models. If someone doesn't want to see it, then don't frequent the places it can be found and hit the "home" button if you find something you don't like. It's so easy to mistake something that was made to portray a message as just trash, and someone's dislike of an opinion should not dictate whether someone else can state it. "Michelango's David. Great art, or just some guy with his pants off?"
