Yeah, perceptions are a nasty problem. The problem is, “saving children” is one of those issues where you really can’t fight again. Because the situation is set up that if you are again protecting children, you are “throwing them to the horrible predators on the Internet, the mall, etc.” It doesn’t matter about rights, it’s about children being the most precious thing.
