I'm not that old, but remember that when the internet started bursting out how all the laws were skirted around by lawyers? It was those
technicalities that kept that teacher in my MS at his desk.
Whenever there is are major changess in tech and/or society, the law is left full of loopholes until they are closed up by lawmakers.
And even if someone had been arrested for having CP in pring, in some states it may not have been illegal until well after the 70's. I remember my
professor this summer saying that Michale Moore had (before being...more sensational) gone down to Mississippi before 1996 and had bought a few white
men and paraded them around as slaves. Thing was that he was legally able to do so because all of the laws had been focused on the freed
African-American slaves and their offspring.
Other states don't take actions on issues, and just leave it to the Federal government to do so. For example, Kansas' minimum wage has been left at
$2.30-something and if it weren't for the Federal laws that would be the wage you'd earn flipping burgers there. Imagine having to put in an 8 hour
day just to put a couple gallons of gas in your tank. (Kansas is the state I am from and they may just be a bunch of jokers and not on task
