How extreme does it have to get for liberaltarians to say that it's over the line?

I would turn the question around and ask how tame it has to be before blue nosed Puritans say it's NOT over the line? Are we to go back to the days when Howl and Tropic of Cancer and Playboy were considered pornography? No thanks, chum, take it to Saudia Arabia 'cause it ain't going to fly in a free country...

The onus is on *you* as a would-be censor to prove harm, not on the rest of us to show why what we're reading should pass inspection with a handful of prigs and pecksniffs. Tell us exactly what you think is obscene and why you think it should be banned.

The only reason no states or local communities (what to speak of the fedgov) can make any laws (practically speaking) to infringe the "rights" of pornographers or the losers who "use" it is because Larry Flynt and the ACLU teamed up, and the SCOTUS saw stuff in the Constitution that no one had seen up to that point. Certainly the gentlemen who wrote the Constitution didn't see a right to pornography in it.

So, thanks to a leftist organization and one of the foulest humans to ever walk the earth, porn is now everywhere. And sick losers can obsess over it freely. Have fun!
