Kiddie-porn is not a victimless crime. Allowing the filth to circulate only encourages it's production, and the illusion of acceptability inside the sub-culture of pedophiles. I don't want to bite anyone's head off over this, but I will.

That said, I will agree with Atrocities that prosecution based on the content of unsolicited e-mail is unreasonable.

But I do not think things are getting worse. The 'golden age', glorious past, paradise-from-which-we-have-fallen is a myth, and a common one that was held at every point in history. There are still problems, but they will be worked out.

Some of our newer problems are, in fact, the results of old solutions to older problems, but that is the nature of things. Today's solutions are often tomorrow's problems. This can be seen quite clearly while working on a large programming project my yourself or with a small number of people. It translates directly into many, many other situations.

Of course, I could be wrong. But not about the kiddie-porn.
