Laws are what they are, Roger. They're there for a reason, just like it's
against the law to cell cigarettes to those under 18 and alcohol to those
under 18 or 21 depending upon the state. I wouldn't advocate allowing 16
year olds to buy alcohol any more than I would advocate allowing children
under 18 access to the four books I listed as examples of true adult books.
While their parents are still legally liable for their actions, they can't
be allowed to purchase alcohol (and potentially harm another person maybe
driving while drunk) and I'm sure there are valid reasons for not allowing
true adult content for minors as well.

I don't think you'd be very successful in repealing those kinds of laws.

My point was simply to give true examples of ADULT books, not the books that
are currently getting marked as adult.
