No one is forcing anything on you. Indeed, it is you who are attempting to use force to prevent people from reading or viewing what they so desire. Us "libertines," as you so nastily put it, have a live-and-let-live attitude. You should be free to restrict what you and yours watch and read, but you shouldn't have that power over me.

Live and let live. I'm ok, you're ok. Let me be me.

Any other slogans from the 1960s you want to throw out there? Pornography has been considered outside the purview of the the 1st Amendment since it was written. This only changed with the "living constitution" introduced by the geniuses in the 1960s. You can argue that society was somehow improved when porn became a civil right. I find such an argument utterly delusional.

You think just because a slogan was coined in the '60s it is wrong? Why don't we go back a couple of centuries then? "Mind your business" -- Benjamin Franklin.

Please point out where, in the founding documents, it specifically states that pornography is outside the purview of the First Amendment. If you make such a bald-faced assertion, the least you can do is back it up with citations.
