oh yay for south dakota! this is why nik and i are now considering buying land just outside of the state lines (nebraska can't be any worse, right?). now is a good time for a newsfast.
OK, don't hate me for this, in defense of the man who was initially charges with 32 counts of "child pornography" I could probably receive the same charge. I probably have some of the same pictures on my computer. The pictures he was taken in for weren't what I would call porn, they were nudes. Naked baby pictures, prepubescent girls pretending to be nymphs; they're pretty and cute. It was never mentioned that any of the pictures displayed anything more than exposed chests (no sex, no flamboyant display of the genitals, nothing that could be considered abuse of the subjects) and no history of sexual behavior towards minors was mentioned either. I know several people who happen to have a fondness for the aesthetics of the innocent, androgynous prepubescent form that has nothing to do with sex or pornography. Now, maybe there's more to the story that I don't know but from what I read I wouldn't label the man a pedophile in any way shape or form. I'm just urging caution as that is a very dangerous and harmful label to slap onto someone,

It doesn't mention it in the article, but in the story I saw on television, the man had admitted to having child pornography. Also, a portion of the article states, But Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Hope Okerlund-Matchan says one of the pictures on Seten's disc was of a 16-year-old South American girl posing nude, exposing her breasts. And that particular photo is known to be child pornography by prosecutors and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
According to their website, the Center for Missing and Exploited children defines child pornography as "a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct."
I just talked to Duran, he gave me a call at work. Apparently he is working at Borders now, and has some money for you.
He doesn't remember that I saw him last night, but I guess he got my note.
Also, he says he is moving out of the Quincy house, or has moved out. Kinda weird, but I presume he was there hanging out with Neko or Michael or something.
Meh. Anyway, he's gotten ahold of me and has our address. He also has our number now, so he may call you.
Oh yeah! You might want to turn the ringer up on the phones... since I turned them down this morning.
Anyway, love you. Talk to you on MSN if you get on, or I'll talk to you at home later.
