   Anybody want to bet that it won't be just another flimsy re-write of the CPA   
   (Grossly misnamed the "Child Protection Act") which was yet another rewrite of   
   Comstock's original legislation against anything sexual; including especially   
   information on birth-control, to prevent women from not having kids?   
      
   The Supreme Court keeps ruling that adults have the right to sexual information   
   and striking down those laws; and Congress keeps right on trying to pass the   
   same old shit ... Always (of course) disguised as "Protecting Children from the   
   HORRORS of Pornography"; when in actuality they're more aimed at preventing   
   ANYBODY from getting sexual information of any kind ... particularly about   
   birth-control.   
      
   Politicians are well familiar with giving truly obnoxious legislation names   
   that   
   make it seem downright unpatriotic and almost criminal to oppose ... like the   
   so-called "PATRIOT" act, which is prima-facie unconstitutional, and the   
   so-called "Child Protection Act" which would have truly *hurt* far more   
   children   
   than it ever would have protected from the evils of pornography.  If nothing   
   else, than by preventing their parents access to birth-control information.   
      
   I presume this particular re-write will only change a word or two from the   
   earlier attempts to revive Comstock's legacy, present the legislation as "new";   
   and hope that with our new SCOTUS that this time they'll get it through the   
   courts.   
      
   Anybody taking my bets?
