Asking the government to enforce existing laws justifies scorn? I disagree. I think those who think the laws are wrong should work to repeal those laws.
I'm not sure what laws they are talking about. If the hotels are not being sufficiently careful to ensure that minors can not get access to pornography without their parents' consent (and I know this happens) then I agree with the groups. If the laws say that people can't watch what they want to in a hotel room once rented, then I would disagree with those laws.
Was the original article specific?
Shalom.
They are trying to use the FED to legislate morality and that never works and never will. No matter how hard they clamp down someone, somewhere will be able to get away with it.
The whole contention as I understand it was based on a fear that kids are being exposed to porn because the hotels have pay per view porn.
Any rational person who understands the principles of individual freedom and accountability knows dragging the FED into this sort of thing is a veiled attempt at using government force to impose thier morality. Kids watching porn is not at the level of a crisis even if it happens every once in a while and certainly doesn't warrant the expense incurred by a national FBI inventigation. We have more pressing matters for our federal government to attend to.
