A postscript from a usually reliable source:

Although the legislative rider in question did pass overwhelmingly, the
bill it was attached to went down in ignoble flames. Therefore, things are
safe for the moment.

On the other hand, the battle lines have clearly been drawn, and I suspect
we can expect more of this BS in the future. Evidently one of the problems
with this whole issue is that pedifiles DO use bulletin board systems to
trade information, which confuses the entire issue even more.
