So movies and photographs are not protected by the First Amendment?

The First Amendment was written to protect Religious and Political speech - not porn.

That doesn't answer my question. Does the First Amendment protect movies, including The Passion of the Christ, or does it not?

What do you think ANY law is if it isn't a MORAL limit?

The proper role of laws is to enforce that subset of morality that says "don't infringe on the individual freedoms of others." The government has no authority over personal moral failings, e.g., gluttony or sloth.

To: Know your rights

Agreed - the govt has NO RIGHT to tell me I can't do anything inside nor on my own property. But then, by extension of extremism (scum lawyer tactic) - I can KILL someone in my home for fun and the govt has no businees saying about it?

So it really comes down to this --- the govt does NOT have the authority to say anything about what I do - to myself - that effects nobody else (that garbage about health costs etc is simple lawyercrap). If I want to smoke some 'weed' in my home - GREAT! If I get in my car high, I should be arrested.

I tell you what - you tell the govt to stay out of this totally - and if I see some filthy lawyer peddling porn out by an elementzary school - it will be perfectly ok for me to blow his head off. right?

That is how it used to be in this country - we rid ourselves of scum without the govt's help - only when the pansy lawyers began to intervene, did we start losing our morality...and our country.
