Okay, fine ;-), but we don't lock up people (at least pretend not to)  
for being sick fucks. How I read Joanna's point is that if your  
response (and more importantly, solution) is imprisonment, then you  
have to start thinking about the large number of men guilty of sex  
with children (underage) . You don't want to call them children, then  
call them minors, whatever.  WFMe. It's still illegal (with Wojtek's  
caveats included).
