Man Sentenced for Writing Thoughts About Fictional Children

	AngryHarry sent in this link from FrontPage Magazine, about an Ohio man who was recently sentenced to seven years in prison for privately writing disturbing thoughts about sexually abusing fictional children. While I'm not going to claim that there isn't something wrong with this man, the fact that he will be in prison for seven years for simply writing about something is direct evidence that our civil liberties mean nothing in the U.S. First Amendment? What First Amendment?
