It's so funny when people attempt to argue their (non-existant) point through silly insults and nonsense. The fact is those in favour of arbitrary justice predicated upon what someone might hypothetically have done should not be surprised when they find themselves lacking any serious argument in support of their contention. The whole reason I came to this forum was that I thought I would not have to justify my belief that initiation of force is inherently bad and that people should be free from the threat of arbitrary sanction. I find that I am mistaken. Realising that many here clearly have about as much devotion to liberty as my communist second cousin, how about I propose a more obvious, ideology-neutral problem with arresting people for mythical crimes. Namely, this: You say that there would have been sexual molestation had this thirteen year-old actually have existed. Well how can you know this for sure? You can't possibly. Why? Because it didn't happen. Did the supposed paedophile actually attempt to molest the child (as in attempted murder)? No, he did not. So here we are, let's lock someone up who may (admittedly probably may) have attempted to molest a thirteen-year old if he had possessed the opportunity to do so. Which he obviously didn't. A simpler way of doing this would be to submit the entire population to a similar test, to assess their liking for the young ones. If you found they were partial to the pre-pubescent, you could lock them up. Simple. The fact they haven't done anything, aside. Of course, that doesn't matter anymore. Fairness and justice is just so...ummm...libertarian, man, and I wouldn't want to be one of those. Adam
