That grand old approach of "because I can think of one sort-of harmful effect of behavior X, I'm going to propose we ban behavior X outright. Who cares about the benefits of behavior X - I'm not even going to consider them!- if there's a possible negative consequence (maybe one that hurts children), then it should be banned in all of its forms. And I don't want to hear any crap about it being important to freedom or democracy, or to people enjoying their lives, or that the negative consequences could be dealt with in less-intrusive, more narrowly-taylored means, or I will accuse you of hating children." Whoever said you have to be smart ot be a good quarterback was clearly right. This is pretty classic nanny-statism.
