[Raven]

The thought of sexual anything with children disgusts me. There are many things which disgust me on a visceral level.

I cannot, however, censor thought or words.

If paedophiles write their stories on paper, they are still just stories, no matter how disgusting I think they are. They are words.

When this country begins the banning of books, like The Color Purple, because it was degrading to blacks....and Mark Twain....what's next?

Who's next?

I was born in a country where people disappeared for having 'thoughts'. They didn't dare write them. They whispered. And, if the whisper police found out or suspected, you were gone, never to be seen again. Those stories are burned into my memory.

Can't live if your thoughts are subject to government intervention. Words are just thoughts on paper. They can be seditious, sexual, stimulating, powerful; but, in the end, they are words.
