Frankly, I'd rather have the original decoys and not the modded ones.

@31: Cory is not adding words to the story. It's his commentary. That's why a link is provided so you can be the entire story. And frankly, as someone who was molested as child, I think the whole thing is ridiculous. My molester was someone I knew, not a stranger. Same thing for any of my friends who had similar experiences--it was someone they knew. And while there are a few cases pf "stranger danger", most abuse is perpetrated by those already in a child's life.

"...Because, you know, anything that children touch regularly becomes part of their souls, and if a paedophile looks at those objects, it's just like sexually assaulting a child..."

Cory has it exactly right--it's called missing the forest for the trees. It takes away from real actions that could be taken to keep kids safe. It's just more security theater. Stopping someone from taking a picture of empty playground equipment wouldn't have helped me one bit.

I weep for this country as zero tolerance spreads. We are collectively losing our common sense.

No. Not at all. All knitters live in a vacuum, never interacting with anything that is not knitting related. Oh, and we don't have *any* other interests other than knitting. Yup. Knitting is my life. Only knitting.

Sheesh.
