Just to throw some gasoline and a match into the discussion, define
pedophilia?
There are cultures out there that don't really have a definition of it.
There are cultures that have what we consider children being married off
and having kids.
Whose right? We see ourselves as correct, but without a lot of moral
authority.
That part goes futher, into differences in what is accepted as good and
bad. That issue is deep-deep-deep, and without any universal answers.
I wouldn't even attempt discussing it on any internet forum.
As for paranoia(s) in our society, - I think some of those mentioned here
had started well before 2001, - including the man with a big camera.
Feeding paranoias can yield profits: either monetary or political (which,
in turn yeild to monetary ones). Paranoid people are more likely to
believe to the stories about other various "monsters". And their minds
are pre-occupied with those monsters which diverts attention from more
important issues. And, of course, one gets easy profits from selling them
sneak-oil of all sorts.
