I can go up the road from my house to a store called "Pleasures" and buy any one of a number of pornographic DVDs. The police have not closed it down.

For some extremely racy video entertainment I can just pop across the stateline into Tennessee and pick it up there. There're big signs on either side of the interstate advertising their wares, so I'm pretty sure the police know they are there. Fact is, they're still there four years after I moved down here.

I can travel to Atlanta and go to one of the "gentlemen's clubs" and spend the evening surrounded by bare flesh. The police have not closed them down.

I can go to an adult bookstore in the same town afterward and pick up all sorts of interesting reading material. The police have not closed them down. Hell, I can pick up Playboy at the Barnes and Nobel.

Are you beginning to see a pattern here? Pornography is obviously legal, at least in these locales, because the purveyors operate in the open and above board.

Fact is, I'm an adult and I should be permitted any vice I so desire, as long as I take responsibility for my actions. I do not need someone dictating what I can or cannot partake of -- especially since those who so want to control my life are simply closet liberals.

And yes, that last comment was directed at you.

I asked for a source, not anecdotes.

The law is not being enforced.
