I'd go for complete publication of registered sex offenders.

Depends on the definition of "sex offender", wouldn't it? DW liked to look at porn presumably. On the list? The VDs may have been swingers. List 'em? An 18 year old boy is sleeping with a 16 year old school mate. Bet he makes the list.

Given the historical (and hysterical) record of behavior of governments and lawyers, I would be against it. Look what they have done with sexual harrassment and racist actions. Those areas have been litigated and codified beyond any reasonable distinction. And that truly demeans those who are real victims. I think it would be just a matter of time til guys who buy the Sports Illustrated swim suit edition would be listed. my .02

The real danger of listing them online is that sometimes mistakes are made, and as a result, lives are ruined. I read recently about one fellow who was not on one of those lists, but had bought a house from someone who had been on one of the lists--he received death threats, had his house vandalized, and suffered greatly, simply because the list had not been properly updated. Personally, my solution is, once they've been proven to have molested a child, give them the death sentence. End of problem.
