The right to be left alone disappeared with the beginning of the Nanny
State in the late 1930's under FDR. It wasn't very intrusive at first
but that's when the camels head entered the tent. I'll be very hard to
evict now that it's fully ensconced on the couch smoking from the hookah.

So, is pornography illegal???
Supposedly not, but our new Attorney General is now setting up an FBI
anti-pornography squad in DC. Seems like our government would have
some genuinely important things to expend manpower and resources on.
In Denmark pornography became leagal sometime in the sixties.
Kiddy porn is illegal here as well. Kiddy porn is if the of involved
persons
is below 15.
In the USA the magic age is 18. Anyone under 18 is a child under the
law. Suddenly, on the 18th birthday some magical event occurs and the
person becomes an adult. Of course they still can't legally drink
alcohol until another magical date, their 21st birthday!
As fa as I'm concerned people can photograph pretty mucch what ever they
want. I guess labs can't legally make Kiddy Porn prints, though.
I'm in favor of an important right that the authors of our
Constitution and Bill of Rights left out, the right to be left alone.
If you are not hurting someone else or otherwise infringing on their
rights, your right to be left alone should be absolute.
