I've been predicting this for two years -- and the primary reason is 
that the ISPs of the United States flat-out *refuse* to police their 
own users and repositories.

Are you surprised?  I'm not.

If the ISPs out there had taken steps to remove (1) the bestiality and 
(2) the child pornography that is in the erotic pictures groups *every 
day* these folks wouldn't have had enough ammunition to pass legislation 
dealing with the rest.

But no, some people just had to go for the absolutes.  

Well, not you have it.
