But hey, you defend the guy, when he gets off on a technicality, I hope he chooses to move into your neighborhood. I'm sure you'll let him play with YOUR kids or relatives, right?
As comfortably as I feel being around a straight woman. Hey; I meet the criteria for being sexually desirable to a straight woman, therefore we will necessarily have sex!
Goddamn... I've never heard such a confusion of the meaning of a word in my life. Learn to seperate necessary and sufficient conditions; learn the distinctions between some and all. Why do you feel that an individual who enjoys sexual pleasure from the idea of a child's body is going to be after
every fuc
king child? To even harbor such distrust is as idiotic as a male hating homosexuals because he believes that he will be the object of desire for each and every one of them.
No, it is easier for you to live in a world with nice, abstract categories which can tell you when something is dangerous and evil, and to be destroyed. As easy as this is (and even helpful occasionally, for use in everyday life), using such things where the subject matter is weird and compilicated is about as useful as solving a jigsaw puzzle by rolling around the peices in glue, then mashing it together and proclaiming, "tada!" It fails in every way to encompass the problem in a meaningful way.
Even aside from all of that, aside from the unqualified prejudices, and the confusion, and the lack of empathy, there remains the question of the purpose of the law. And every individual is and ought to be entitled to the best possible legal representation and logical argument for his/her defense availible. If you begin to throw that away, then you dismiss the entire tradition of enlightened, liberal thinking which is the basis of our country.

At least he can only judge 1/12th of the defendant!
