Some day when all our liberties are encorached to "protect" us from ourselves, we will look around and ask, dumbfoundedly:

"But I don't understand! Where were the warning signs?"

I don't think we will ever realize that we were the warning signs, and we had all the symptoms of what it takes for liberty to fail it's people, as people failed at grasping what liberty is and what it takes to defend it.

The problem with being convicted for possessing cartoons is that it sets a precedent. In some cases, perhaps, analogous to cracks in a water dam.

The most interesting part is that this discussion continued with some people defending what took place as written in the article before anyone was told that this man was already a convicted sex offender, who was in posession of (real) child pornography. So think about the implications of that.
