I'm one of those people who think that this book shouldn't see the light of day, for various reasons. However, I do not believe that having thoughts should constitute crime, for the very reasons you stated in your other post (people do struggle with this --they aren't all just wholeheartedly indulging in these thoughts/feelings).

Also, of interest is the fact that in Britain (from what I understand having read about it on some photography forums where a photographer complained about being hassled for taking pictures at a ski resort -- not only were the children mixed with adults, but they were so bundled up that you couldn't make out anything at all), simply having photos of children (fully clothed children doing normal childhood things) is a crime if you also happen to profess to be a paedophile. Thought police indeed.

Oh, my. That's carrying it a bit too far.
