Hi Geoff,

"Kiddie Porn" is one of the bureaucratic "OK hatreds" in the US. Never

mind that sometimes it is the difference of 17 1/2 vs 18 years old.

Most perpetrators violating most laws have "constitutional protections"

and this is frustrating to certain kinds of law enforcement

personalities. But there is an informal "open season" on pedophiles and

kiddie porn users, who also have "rights" but no one pushes it.

I mean, we are talking guys (maybe gals) who got into a profession

because it had the potential for some kick butt action and now most of

the time they are constrained by all these rights . . .
