99. no, i think people have a knee jerk reaction to anything involving kids
and that can be used to pry away at various freedoms without any discussion. people are willing to let little bits of their freedom go 'to save the children'.

i saw the ad for this show on the web, and it turns my stomach. who would watch such tripe? I think it appeals to people's prurient interests as much or more than it 'catches' pedophiles. And entrapment is against the law, btw.

And here is my personal view on pedophiles. There is a world of difference between some monster raping an 8 year old and an gay adolescent boy seeking sex with an older man. Nearly every gay man I know did that when they were teens. Who is this show entrapping?
