I've reached a cynical point where anytime I see 'protection of youth' as a reason for something, I instantly assume an ulterior motive. I should want kids to be protected, but I've been conditioned to assume the worst whenever they're brought up.
Yep. Any time they throw buzzwords like "protection" "freedom" or "safety" into a bill, there's usually an ulterior motive that runs counter to those ideals.
