Agreed. If this material is so bad, what will it do to those who view it in order to determine whether or not it is immoral and hence should be illegal?

I don't trust anyone else to make that decision for me.

Here is a scenario I still haven't received an answer to in this debate.

A very talented artist creates a painting from his own imagination depicting juveniles engaged in sexual intercourse or other sexually explicit activities or poses. Remember now, these juveniles DO NOT EXIST except in the mind of the artist, and now only exist as paintings on a canvas. By producing these paintings, what law has the artist broken? If he shows them to other adults, can he be arrested? If he sends them to another adult on the internet, can he be arrested? Why? Who makes the decision that someone who creates something from only the imagination can be arrested and imprisoned?
