Well, tat got absolutely no attention. There was a time when the only newspaper publisher I could name was William Loeb, thanks to Time magazine's continually sniping at him.

Maybe, but you can bet the right is in favor of lifetime registration for sex offenders.

But, I only brought these to warn young people to stay far away from people who would harm them. These aren’t for us to use. They are safety props.

Pete Townsend is a music legend. But he got into some serious trouble back in the early 2000’s with, um, questionable internet content. Just before that arrest happened, I saw a Who concert and Townsend ended the show by shouting this non-se quieter, β€œprotect our children!” My friend and I just looked at each other. It seemed strange. Townsend surely knew he was under investigation and his image was about to be destroyed. Soon after, his home was raided and his excuse for the content was β€œI was doing research on child abuse for a book I’m writing about my own abuse.” The creepy, God-worshipping GOP are likewise just very protective of kids.

And for most of these fools even that is wishful solitary thinking.

Before you play holier than thou, quote some statistics on the recidivism rate of pedophiles. Also too, he spent 40 days in jail. You really think he paid for his crime?

I heard he was a gas at parties.

Topping Putin is what I read. Either way.
