Re: Freedom of Speech or Shutup by force? Good point on the cherubs. That got me to thinking. During my recent trip to Charleston, South Carolina, I saw a statue of 5 barely dressed kids. Obviously, they were meant to be cherubs (or something similar). Was that child porn?
I took a photo of that statue. Does that mean I'm guilty of possessing child porn now? I even had that photo printed in a photo book (for my friend whose wedding brought me to Charleston). Does that mean I'm guilty of distributing child porn?
Here's the photo (now maybe all of you are guilty of viewing child porn):
For the record, I don't think any reasonable person would call this child porn, but you never know where some people will draw the line. Child Porn has, like terrorism, become an excuse for people in power to get things passed that wouldn't have a chance otherwise. Yes, child porn is bad and should be stopped. However, many people seem to lose all rational thought when child porn is brought up. Mention "child porn" and they suddenly will support draconian legislation that does little to stop child porn and does plenty to reduce our freedoms.
