...increased obscenity prosecutions
If there were no consequence to having this kind of material or communication, i.e. obscenity, then I would agree with you. But the society EVERYONE has to live in is coarsened by a regular diet of vulgarity (sexual or otherwise) that is passed off as normal behavior.
The most distressing part of this for me is that there is nothing INHERENTLY vulgar about sex or violence when they are in their proper context. Obscenity is when they are used for entertainment outside of that context.
Oh well, I've vented long enough. I appreciate your thoughts on this issue though.
