I'm kind of wondering whether the authorities aren't going after the easy busts instead of going after the producers of CP and the CP porn rings. Ferchrissake, some poor schmoe takes a peek to satisfy his morbid curiosity (I'm not referring to Pete T here) and all of a sudden he's facing 15 years and a sex offender label? These laws are far worse than the stupid anti-pot laws. Put the guys who photograph and distribute the shit in jail. As Bertrand Russell said, "If we forbade our children from looking at trains and tore pictures of trains out of magazines, we'd create a morbid curiosity about trains." Isn't that what's going on with the CP thing? Too much hysteria and not enough logic.
