Suuuure it is.
Marlowe, the 'emphasis on pederasty' is just another way of justifying censorship of all types by saying "The children! My God, who will protect the children'.
How about the adults? How about the parents? Frigging parents just let kids go online without supervision, but that's pornography's fault? And because there are sickos out there, the government must increase (again) to take more control over communications?
Letting kids wander the 'net without supervision is like letting them wander, say, NYC without supervision. It's stupid and negligent. Of course, the 'answer' to THAT problem is to monitor the movements of EVERYBODY, and to require records to be kept of adults that go to places not on the 'approved' list, right? (Your papers, please)
The neocon junta is all about making moral choices for the people. The justice department in particular are ultra-prudes. Tell me, is the breast on the statue of Justice still covered? The ONLY way that could have been considered to be 'dirty' would be if Ashcroft was lusting after it, after all (the sicko). The government can't even make legitimate judgements about genuine works of art; these are the people that are to regulate access to legitamate adult entertainment?
Finally, you seem to be all for the government being able to FORCE a third-party entity to actively support their efforts to revive a bill already killed by the courts - remember that there are no charges, and no criminal case involved here - just members of the executive branch that want to revive laws already rejected because of their limitation of legitimate free speech.
I'm not surprised you support absolute power for the executive branch though.

As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
