I've not seen a debate about the CDA in which one side or the other does not personally and spitefully insult their opposition. That might explain why there is so little merit to the literature and monologues so righteously dispensed by the "concerned" and the "outraged."

Supporters of the CDA utter barely a complete sentence without accusing their opponent of smut-mongering and pedophilia-peddling, while opponents of the CDA can hardly catch their breath before accusing their opponents of puritanical ignorance and outright stupidity.

Both sides lustily recount the existence of freely available "patently offensive" content, grasping not for any substance or depth but for nothing more than the most outrageously shocking trump card with which they somehow expect to slam their opposition into submission.

They are not making a point, they are degrading and insulting each other's lifestyle in the name of "the children," who are almost certainly the more resiliant individuals.

I will have nothing to do with it. And I will not presume to bore anybody with my thoughts on the matter.
