"It is now possible to create sexually explicit images of "children" without actually photographing or filming a child. One could create the image from scratch, "morph" or combine an image of a child in a non-sexual situation with an adult in a sexual situation, or modify the picture of an adult so he or she looks like a child. The end result could be an image that looks exactly like the photograph of a child in a sexual situation. If that image were real, it would be a felony. But if it's virtual, it's free speech."

So, please stop with the "it's only a cartoon" routine.
