Barb, what do you think of arresting drunk drivers before they have harmed someone, because they constitute an unreasonable hazard?

On the issue of pornographic depictions of violent and degrading behavior, the evidence is mixed, but it not clear- cut that it is harmless either. There is a strong correlation with obsessive consumption of such images and acting- out, it is just difficult to prove causality. On the other hand, even if there were not a one hundred percent correlation between the consumption of such images and acts of rape and sexual abuse, it may be that by markedly increasing the likelihood of acting out it should be banned. The question, which also encompasses our own uncertainty of analysis, is what is a tolerable level of risk to the community?
