I hate to be a curmudgeon - no, really! - but paedophilia isn't actually illegal under US law. Not unless you act upon the impulse. I mean, the bible says it's adultery if you look at someone not your spouse with lust in your heart, but I think US law demands the action as well as the thought.
And isn't it legal to smoke dope in the US under some circumstances?
I'm just wondering where to draw the line, and whether it should be straight or curly-wurly.
To be honest, I wasn't thinking of paedophilia here.
