The title to this thread is misleading and reminds me of something I might see in the Calgary Sun, should I feel the need to numb my brain with its inglorious piffle.
That being said, I'm perfectly fine with punishing the people who watch child porn. Every society has its taboos and this is one we would do well to protect and prosecute, as there is no downside to protecting children's rights from adult exploitation. Flanagan is hypothesizing a slippery slope that doesn't exist. That doesn't mean he is Satan, or a kiddie raper, just a guy who thinks too much in the abstract, so the hyperbole and vilification isn't necessary.
