“It won't happen over-night that's for sure. The anti-paedophilia cranks have succeeded in forcing their warped view on so much of the world that a quick return to common sense is impossible. As I suggested elsewhere, there _may_ come a time when paedophilia is viewed just as homosexuality is now: as a minority(?) interest but not a wicked one. If that time comes people will view paedophilephobia(!) just as they view homophobia now.”

“I see xenophobia and the range of bodies and laws to deal with it. Some of crimes can be a mere word that land you in trouble. Now what has been made clear is that there seems to some imbalance when it comes to fabricating stories about people. When society is in witch hunt mode you can get away with murder. Yes at some really late final stage there maybe perjury that's come into play but well before that a life could be in tatters. It seems there is such hysteria on the subject, such ill feeling that there is absolutely no thought to fight any abuse of false accusations, not public organization people can go to, no real legislation to say to kids and adults that it is in fact wrong to make up stories, use paedophilephobia for their own good.”

“The paedophile is then both pre^([sic]) and post-human, united with the machine and also with the original evil that spawned humankind. Within this paradigm child sexual abuse is the alpha and the omega of humanity, and in the context of evolution and teleology, the beginning and the end. From this we see how fears over the ‘spiral’ of child sexual abuse equate with fears concerning Armeggedom and the total destruction of humanity. The fear of observation by paedophiles leads to further observation, the fear being the fear of control by machinery, an aspect of paedophilephobia being technophobia. Significantly, in the novel and film, The Pledge has the perpetrator of the crimes being punished by a freak accident, not by humans, machines being the judge, jury and executioner.”
