While working in NY City before Giuliani was Mayor, I worked in a nice area but there was another office located on 42nd somewhere before 6th. It was disgusting, peep shows, porn, and prostitution. There was the lowest forms of life there. A lot of young lost people sucked into that life there as well. I witnessed someone being arrested for crack. Fun. Somebody tried to grab at me. It was scary and I told my boss if they wanted anything from that office or any business was to be conducted there, they could send someone else. I would no longer be subjected to that.
Forward to Giuliani taking office. He cleaned that area up. Closed the those disgusting hell holes down. Got rid of a lot of the low life forms there. Giuliani made a bad situation into a safer area to be in. Night and day from what it was.
I do Not want the federal government telling us what to do with our private lives because they always take it too far. However, local government should be able to have control over the situations of Porn in their neighborhoods. Porn most certainly brings the area down, attracts the lowest forms of people who commit crimes, and make it unsafe place to be.
Yes, banning pornography should be for local governments to decide. Guiliani was great in cleaning those places up. Didn't it cause allot of controversy?
Excellent Post.I totally agree. :0)
That is in public and I support that. You will not that I have not once voiced support for the public display of porn nor have I voiced support for adult'book' stores. But most of the people who wish to ban porn wish to ban it in all location, including private homes which I feel isn't the right thing for our government to be doing.
