I applaud Sen. Brownback for his courage in tackling this tough issue. Judith Reisman has done incredible work in the field and is a top voice exposing the fallacies of homosexuality as a lifestyle. http://drjudithreisman.com/
Our kids are being hurt today by the sheer preponderance of porn and it's too bad more adults aren't sensitive to the resulting mind warping being pushed on their own kids. I once heard a child psychologist say that any parent taking a child to a sleezy "adult" film is guilty of child abuse and I agree with that assessment. (There is nothing adult or mature about porn.)
Free speech is great, but porn is not free speech - it's screaming fire in a crowded theatre. It has no usefulness for the common good of society. Some on this thread who think this is not a major issue are speaking out of sheer heartlessness and ignorance. Unfortunately, the children pay the mental cost.
And is that a reason for it to be heavily regulated by the government, or banned outright???
Hey, it was tried once with another "social problem": It was called Prohibition.
Look how well it turned out...
I like Senator Brownback, too. The more I learn about him, the more I think he could be a viable successor to President Bush. He has the moral values that are becoming more and more appreciated in this country, red states and blue.
Wouldn't it be fun to have a big family back in the White House, like in the days of Teddy Roosevelt?
