This may sound very bad, but I think it's a planned strategy to yap about 
victimhood at every opportunity.  It's a very in-your-face enforcement of 
political correctness.  Notice how fast black Americans jumped on Trent 
Lott.  Notice how ethnic groups sue when they're used as villians in a movie 
because this is an ethnic slur.  It's a planned strategy to attack users at 
every opportunity in order to stop demand and thus damage the child porn 
business.  It's useless, as far as I can see, but that's what it is.

Do you think "A Different Bomb" sounds like intellectual curiousity?  You 
can't take Pete's brain out of his head and turn it off, so the intellectual 
is always going to be there, looking out of one half of his brain.  The 
other side was horrified.

I think Pete is harmless as far as molesting children goes, so listing him 
is of no practical value.  However, it's the law, so there it is.  The law 
doesn't apparently make any distinction about whether it's justified or not. 
 However, the sexual offender list is supposed to be confidential, so this 
is another case of the press invading Pete's privacy.
