12 year olds are minors and do not enjoy the rights and privileges of adults. That may be a moral judgment to you but a reasoning adult can easily see that it is more properly a pragmatic distinction based on objective definable differences between adults and minors.

Yet those same minors can star in the remake of Lassie or Shane. Why is it they can't star in even simulated porn with one another? Face it skippy, our laws are based on MORAL judgments - at least the good ones are.

There are many communities where it is legal everywhere as evidenced by recent stories from Boulder, CO and Eugene, OR.

ROFL. You pick two of the most liberal, statist communities to boast about their decency laws? Damn that's funny. Some headlines: Eugene bans Smoking. Eugene bans Malt Liquor. Boulder Bans All City Travel to Arizona. Boulder bans Nerf Guns. How frickin pathetic. Maybe you could move to these statist utopias.

How you can equate civil laws governing a public thoroughfare with a moral judgment is beyond my ability to imagine the chain of convoluted logic necessary to arrive there.

Gee. 43rd Ave might be a thoroughfare, but Central Park? I thought it was a park. Even Times Square has 'green spaces" that would work nicely for your teepee. What's that? You mean it is NOT OK for you to exercise whatever you deem as your freedoms in these spaces? Surely your Teepee will not be in the traffic.

I know, I'm just a statist. A statist who has advocated reducing the size and scope of the federal government to strict constitutional limits for years.

I’ve knocked down all of your red herrings and your further equivocations don’t add any support to them. It is clear enough that when you abandon the subject matter completely to make your points you have no real points to make.
