It's unfortunate that there are people who prey on the innocent but I for one will not forgo even one small freedom that I now possess to stop a few children from being victimized ...That may sound cold and callous but guess what life isn't fair and there will always be those who will suffer at the hands of others and forgoing our rights to be free from government intrusion into our lives is more important than anything else we have.

I truly feel that the current gaggle of hacks running things in America have given us ample proof of their grasping ways to gain and maintain power and their incompetence to use it wisely. The only thing that this crowd is really good at is clouding issues and misdirection. From the beginning of the 2000 campaign this administration has been engaged in obfuscation and misinformation. I have serious doubts that child pornography is the true reason for the justice department’s request for personal browsing histories. Has anyone forgotten the notices to libraries? You and you alone are responsible for your civil rights.

It's time for a lot of us to "put up or shut up." This is the question we have to decide: are children more harmed by pornography, or are the rest of us more harmed by giving up a little privacy? One thing I do know: "naked baby pictures" are increasingly Politically Incorrect. Only perverts would want such pictures. Or so the P.C. thinking goes.
