What about live action movies that depict actors over the age of 18 portraying minors in sexually explicit scenes.
The same law applies. The new ('97) version of Lolita had to have the sex scenes edited here in the US because the character of Lolita was underage even though the body double that was used for those scenes was over 18.
Five years ago, it expanded the definition of illegal activity to include a "visual depiction [that] appears to be a minor".
So this law would also include things like anime. That was one of the main reasons for the editing of the US release of Kite. And why many of the ecchi anime released in the US has the female stars listed as collage students. This law would also make shows like Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo! technically child porn.
You really think US troops would fire on their own people? Thats where your argument fails. It would have to be direct loyal followers of the person in power and that would still require a huge number of people.
Kent State, May 3, 1970
Students came out on the Kent State campus and scores of others to protest the bombing of Cambodia. Some rocks were thrown, some windows were broken, and an attempt was made to burn the ROTC building. Governor James Rhodes sent in the National Guard. Guard bayonetted two men, one a disabled veteran, who had cursed or yelled at them from cars. The following day, May 4th, the Guard marched down a hill, to a field in the middle of angry demonstrators, then back up again. Seconds before they would have passed around the corner of a large building, and out of sight of the crowd, many of the Guardsmen wheeled and fired directly into the students, hitting thirteen, killing four of them.Guardsmen--none of whom were later punished, civilly, administratively, or criminally--admitted firing at specific unarmed targets; one man shot a demonstrator who was giving him the finger.

Because it's the same hand that ties the leash around our necks, pats us on the head and tells us what good complacent geeks we are.
I work a minimum of 50 hours a week, but it's usually between 65-80 depending on the number of projects I'm working on. I do get paid overtime for anything over 40 hours. Which is good for the pocketbook, but not for my social life.

Maybe you should try reading the artice yourself.
