OK, going out on a limb here, so I'm going to try to write exactly what I mean, so don't put words in my mouth if you disagree.

First, let me make it clear that I have no use for predators...I think most, if not all cannot be rehabilitated, and should probably spend most, if not all their lives in prison. I also feel that if we can get 'em before they hurt a child, well, that's a good thing.

However, I must confess that this whole thing makes me uncomfortable...it is awfully close to arresting someone who is thinking about a crime. I do understand that what is being done is interrupting a crime in progress. Still, I think that this is getting very close to the line. We've given away quite enough of our civil liberties over the last half-century or so, and I think we must be very cautious in how we do such things.

Still, the nekkid guy with cat...I have a very SPECIAL place for him!!!
