Protecting children

I saw on WebPro News where, "The US Congress passed a bill into law this week aimed at protecting children from on-line predators. The law dictates how hyperlinks and domain names leading to sexual content may be presented. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 prohibits "misleading" domain names and links."
Without knowing all the details of this law, the ideas behind include recent thoughts of mine.
This idea of children is getting out of hand. Young people - presumably anyone under 21? - are children when the government wants them to be children and are adults when the government wants them to be adults.
Whoever said a rose is a rose by any other name never met our fearless leaders in the US government. When lawyers get busy, no word is safe.
Being 64 and counting, I remember when in grade school we would seek out the good stuff in Payton Place and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Not sure of the spelling and ain't going to take the time to look it up.
When I became a teenager, I figured I was an adult, no matter what the law said. Every guy I knew would have jumped at the chance to have an affair with any good looking woman no matter her age. "Eight to Eighty, deaf, crippled, blind and crazy," was okay as we used to say but never did.
What's my point?
My point is we live in a time of fantasy where childhood innocence has become a false god - unless of course you want to try the little twirp in a court of law as an adult where even an execution becomes a possibility.
