"And yeah, you can't legislate morality. One man's morality is another man's cesspool. That's not news. But when we start allowing that kind of free-for-all thinking as an excuse for kiddie porn, CG or not, then something is really, really wrong somewhere." Your usual straw-man. No one here is advocating in favor of any form of child-porn. "This isn't Botticelli painting naked cherubs. This isn't Shakespeare." Actually, VS, under the now-invalid law, Zephirelli's beautiful film version of Romeo and Juliet would have been considered child-porn--it featured teen-aged actors having simulated sex. It IS Shakespeare and Botticelli, at least as the law was written--that's the point.
