For a full decade in the 70's and early 80's the US Supreme Court used to meet on Tuesday evenings to view porn movies in order to decide on issues of decency. Several hundred movies were viewed, but despite intense scrutiny, none of the justices reached any thing close to a conclusion other than to meet again next tuesday............
A true story!

Golly, it is good that we don't have any pressing issues like national sovereignty or a war against international terrorism to worry about; this absence of life and death issues allows us to handle individual impulse control problems. </sarcasm>
I think that porn is a waste of time and money for those who are tied to it. Keep it away from kids and allow private organisations to deal with those who can't keep their impulses in check. The last thing that we want is the national government regulating the internet; that is the first step to the death of the internet.</rant>

Sounds like a porno movie plot.

70s porn was kinda cool. The loud, guitarish background music...that's how Dennis Miller described the Clinton Presidency!
Besides if porn was gone how would I get my weekly Jenna Jameson fix?

'Cept it was the Meese Commission... not the US Supreme Court.
Crazy all the same, though. : )
