If they were explict tales about pre-teen sex orgies written FOR adults, would you have a problem with their regulation by government?

Then why tolerate such works being shelved in the childrens section of public libraries?


Any government regulation of anything is a bad thing. I do not like to see government expanding... These are just books... peices of literature... no children were abused in creating and distributing these books... giving up and putting your hands in the air and asking the government to come in and do the work YOU as a parent failed to do, is not the fault and responsibility of the rest of us Americans... I hate this attitude in this country "if i dont approve of it, i want it banned, i want laws" nonsense... this is supposed to be a country that represents freedom, not oppression or suppression.

Ah, you must be a follower of Rousseau. If there was no nasty government or rules, we could all be noble savages and a perfect Utopia would reign.

Kind of like: If you don't like abortion, don't have one. If you don't like pedophilia, don't be one. If you don't like vicious torture porn, don't look at it. Etc.

What do liberaltarians like you think about a neighbor pouring toxic waste onto their property? Or in the stream that then goes to your property? Should people be allowed to dump used motor oil in the ground to pollute ground water? Should people be allowed to burn tires and other stuff, the smoke of which then blows onto their neighbors? How about meth labs - are they okay? How about spraying high concentrations of pesticides so that the spray blows directly into your windows from their yards?

Mental pollution is actually more dangerous than physical pollution.

No, only in reading them.
