Slim,

You're going to have to pull in the slack on this one solo.  We're heading
to Orlando this morning - something about a mouse.  This is the kind of
'feel good' legislation that was thrown in at the last second and nobody
read, "Oh, it's against Child Pornography, hell yeah, I'll vote for that!"
The unforeseen consequences of nonsense like this could be painful.  You got
it buddy - we're all counting on you!
