I don't see where I did celebrate it, but to equate Hugh Hefner with Osama bin Laden in terms of destruction of the west is a little too melodramatic for me.

Melodramatic? I don't think so. Men who embrace pornography are, psychologically speaking, saying "no" to reality and "yes" to a fantasy world. Such men can not be counted on in a time of crisis in the real world.

If you don't think this is a major problem, I would encouage you to look into the articles about that perv at the Department of Homeland Security who was recently arrested for attempting to solicit a minor. Don't for a second think that he's the only one.

Of course he's not the only one. There have always been pedophiles around. We just didn't used to have 24-hour-a-day news media to tell us about each and every one of them, no matter where they are located. For pete's sake!

Yeah, that's why (for example) all those guys who first got the idea of flying into space from watching Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon collapsed in panic when flying real space capsules.

Sheesh.
