1. Scare stories. Exactly. Boy scouts around a campfire masturbating to gay porn. (The future of scouting?) Everybody in a small town brandishing guns. (Support gun control now.) The President on a chair in the Oval Office listening to demands from an Arab seated at his desk. (Stop foreign oil.) Two nine-year-old girls playing make-up in a motel bathroom, while in the next room a film crew preps the bed. (Clean up the internet.) Projections of a disturbing future are an old, effective tool (when someone smart does 'em.) But they create an alarmist mindset that is, to me, often dangerous in the present.

2. There's no lack of free support or financial help from First Amendment legal groups. That's what all the donations are for.
