Well then, if you ask me, what is harmful to children is society's sexual
taboo, not pornography.

There have been scientific studies, and they have all been closed down.
There are rumours, that they were shut down because what they were finding
did not match up with sociological ideals.

Very close to 16 at least :)

I suppose the 2 years is just a buffer in case there were an off by one
error on the year of the birth certificate.

Here in the wonderful state of Utah, we are appearantly never old enough to
make our own decisions.  We have a porn Czar (who happens to be a self
proclaimed 40 year old virgin lady) who says what can and cannot enter the
state.

All beer sold in this state has half as much alchohol as regular beer -
otherwise they couldn't sell it at the grocery store.

And yet, despite all these restrictions people are calling out for more
legislation and restrictions.    All the magazines in the stores now have
black covers over them so you can't see anything but the title.  Malls get
in trouble for putting up posters with scantily clad women to sell
underwear.   Bush is trying to ammend the constitution to discriminate
against non conventional marriage.    If people had their way the damn
internet would be censored.

It's a scary time we live in.  It may not be all of America, it may possibly
just be Utah.  The extreme right is fighting hard - and countries don't seem
to recover from that in any kind of timely manner.
