The thing that annoys me the most about the 2257 laws is that it is absolute blatant political point scoring. It doesn't actually protect anyone. It might "protect" a 17 year old girl from the unspeakable horror of having naked photographs taken of her, but the 7 year old child we all want to protect, there's no way those fuckers intended on complying with any law, new 2257 or not, in the first place. The law does *nothing*, and there's no fucking way any politician is going to side against these laws, because they instantly get branded as an advocate of child molestation, regardless of how idiotic we all know that is. Not many ways to kill a career in politics faster than going against a bill that "protects the children".
Sigh. The whole situation makes me sick.
