Fighting pornography is not any step toward communism as a matte rof fact if you will read Karl Marx works you’ll find out breaking down the public morality is one of many steps towards communism.

Are we going to ban premarital sex too? I mean, hey, as long as we're shoring up public morality and all. How about extra-marital affairs? The article lists "disregard for marital vows" as one of the horrible side effects of porn, along with the "breakup of the family through divorce". So, why aren't these same people also pushing for a ban on divorce? After all, aren't these the real problems?

I think that the argument would be that wide acceptance of pornography has led to premarital sex and such.

But I don’t think that the reasons listed are the principles they are operating out of. They are just ways to get porn sites shut down because of other reasons.

1) This has nothing to do with changing the law. It is all about:
a) Enforcing the laws that are there now.
b) Changing the public perception of pornography and acceptance of pornography in its midst.

2) All of the things you mentioned are illegal in certain states. Do you have a problem with people being required to keep the terms of their contracts?

They are problems, but not the same as the growing problem of pornography.

I'm a libertarian, but the idea of putting X42 into prison appeals to me. I'm conflicted... :-)
