I must be a little confused, so when did child pornography become legal in the first place? And how is it that it is legal to view something which is illegal to produce? I find the whole topic appalling. Making it legal to view but illegal to download or pay for sure sends out mixed messages. Aren't we supposed to be protecting our youth and persecuting thoes who use, abuse and exploit? Do we truely have no boundaries as a society? I fear we are doomed as Rome was. I am sad that a topic such as child pornography would even reach the Supreme Court; there should be zero tolerance by our society. This matter shouldn't even be up for debate. Just out of curiosity, it's still illegal to have sex with a minor right? Just wondering, because I thought that might have changed too within the obscure permaneters of our wishy-washy judicial system. And at the risk of sounding sexist, I might add, this new law shouldn't be so surprising I suppose considering the dominating age and gender of the Oregon Supreme Court. Shame on you!
