I agree with Perry's assessment, and would like to summarize the conclusion of the article since it is about the blurring of national boundaries and lack of control by authority: It is expressed that pedophiles who can communicate with like-minded people anywhere in the world (where laws against it do not exist) will get the impression that they are normal, okay people who live under an unjust state. Additionally, it is mentioned that unsupervised (i.e., no psychiatrist present) discussion between pedophiles will also reinforce their predilections. Unfortunately, the article does not mention how the blurring of national boundaries and uncontrolled (polically incorrect, etc.) conversations would also be beneficial. Perhaps the real upshot of the article is "May you live in interesting times". Paul E. Baclace peb@netcom.com
