I think most of your feared scenarios come from rather far-fetched
interpretations of "danger".  (Yes, I know the scenarios are not
necessarily your own, but rather Meese's, for instance.)  That's
precisely why I put in "clear and present danger".  As I said before,
I don't believe judges and juries could be readily convinced that
private, consensual sodomy presents a "clear and present danger" of
AIDS to some other party, nor that private viewing of pornography
presents such a danger.
