[Always Right]

Child porn laws are here for one reason: to protect children from abuse. What children are being abused in drawings. It might make the user think about doing it, but you can't regulate what you think a picture makes someone think about.

If you have ever seen the quality of some of the computer generate video games like Dead or Alive 3 on XBox, you can imagine how sick and graphic and realistic this newly protected free speech is gonna become. It's a bad ruling, pornography was never intended to be protected under the 1st Amendment.

[amused]

Granted it is disgusting material but the "Founding Fathers" also issued the sedition act to prohibit criticism of the government, spitting on an amendment barely a decade old. Many states had similar laws. Political speech appears to be the sole intent of protection by the 1st but even then it was trampled a bit.

I would rather the court hold legal all forms of speech(outside of libel, slander, panic starters or basically what has been held for the last century or so) and community pressure dictate how disgusting and offensive speech is dealt with. One must be careful when abridging any right, for the consequences may not be felt for years afterwards.
