I don't often agree with the ACLU but...

I think the law is draconian. Where I live, an 18 year old high school student (senior) got arrested and charged with statutory rape and possession of child pornography because he took a picture of his 16 year old (sophomore) girlfriend giving him a hummer in his car. If he gets convicted he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

I'm all for harsh punishment of pedophiles but this is insane.

Girl Charged After Sending Explicit Selfie: ‘I’m Not A Criminal’ « WCCO | CBS Minnesota

..this is just nuts.



So I'm not a big fan if 14 year olds sending naked selfies but I was 14 once and can sure see how this might seem like a good idea at the time. I mean, who among us never played doctor? This is an issue for the parents, not the courts. There is no way in hell that this kid should be deemed a sexual predator and whoever charged her is a damned idiot.

In the old days, "liberal authoritarian" was a contradiction in terms. Today it is part of the left-right paradigm echo chamber.

Yep.

Liberal doesn't mean what it used to.
