Way back when, I was taught that your rights ended where mine began and vice versa. But that went the way of the PC crowd and the porn dealers.

Back in the 70's there was an effort, handily won, by the porn industry to put an end to community standards. That industry was steeped in organized crime and thus had the money it took to fight in the courts and win.

They went state by state, purchasing a run down theatre in a "nice" neighborhood and running hard core movies. Of course the intent was to be arrested and brought to court. The appeals ran up to the state supreme courts and because comminity standards could not be defined or quantified, the community lost.

They made fools of morality and ethics and they made a joke of the constitution.

I might add that the Constitution allows for my right to be offended.
