I live in the South Bay and am one of the horrific whites that Mead refers to in his column. I voted no because I don't think it is any of my business what sort of protection porn actors use or don't use while they are on the clock. Just like I don't think it is any of my business to regulate what soda people drink or the type of cars they drive, or the toilets they flush or the shower heads they use or the light bulbs they light their houses with or any of the other innumerable regulations that are routinely espoused by nanny-staters like Walter Russell Mead.

There is one regulation however that I would support. When columnists propose passing new laws or regulations, those laws or regulations should apply only to the columnist for a period of 10 years so everyone else can see how the regulations works in real life.

ditto your comments

Social conservatives need to make a deeper and more fundamental examination of their true beliefs when it comes the limited government all Conservatives say we believe in.

Is it only limited government when I want the government off my back, and O.K. to not be limited government when I want people to do what I would do, or what I think is “the best thing to do”, and its only what people are freely doing with each other, by their own consent???

Sure, I would not be in the Porn business to start with, and yes, if I were I would dam well use “protection” and I would dam well insist that everyone did all the time. But, hey, if someone chooses the risks of being in that business to start with. they cannot be so head-in-the-sand stupid to not know the risk that it is. Am I supposed to care if they don’t care? NO.
