http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/20/21717.aspxI'm suffering a mental block on whether "I know it when I see it" originally referred to art or porn, but in this case I mean art.  UPDATE:  OK, it was porn (see the comments), but I already published with this title so it's in the RSS feeden-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/20/21717.aspx#21728Wed, 20 Dec 2006 17:08:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:21728Paul, Alamo, CAThe 10 most dangerous toys list makes me think people are stupider than I thought. We used many of these when I was a kid and also with my kids, and yet escaped harm. I can think of more than 10 kids who had thing makers (of various forms, they made tons of different kinds and mold types) and no one suffered more than a minor burn (we learned quickly from the 1st burn). We had lawn darts and no one was ever hurt more than a bruise (we hurt ourselves more falling on asphalt). My daughter had a sky dancer and escaped any harm. I do not know if some people are "harm magnets" or if it is just that kids are not taught enough common sense to avoid real injury. I would rather kids have these "dangerous" toys and are taught respect for use of such items than be constantly protected from themselves and so never learn common sense. I will say that the radioactive set sounds dangerous, but they used to have foot X-ray machines at the shoe store to get sized and watches used radium to glow at night, so attitudes about radiation were a little different. Also, the "ore" was only mildly radioactive. I had that in a chemistry set. It was not the refined uranium that injures people.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/20/21717.aspx#21737Wed, 20 Dec 2006 17:50:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:21737J. SchultzI'm sure I won't be the first or last to post this. "I know it when I see it," refers to Porn, and was a quote of Justice Potter Stewart in dealing with censorship.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/12/20/21717.aspx#22160Thu, 21 Dec 2006 22:41:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:22160John in CincyI was over at Volokh yesterday and read the "Ten year sentence for 17 yr old..." story. While I agree that 10 years is too long for consensual sex, this is a case where the devil is in the details. This was at a party where there was tons of alcohol; more than one boy involved in the oral sex; a 17 year old girl involved in intercourse where she was so drunk she had to be picked up off a bathroom floor and put into bed and it was all on video. The 17 yr old boy was offered the same plea bargain that the other boys accepted and decided to take his chances with a trial.
