For the most part, these modern day Comstocks won't rest until any entertainment they consider "indecent" is banned by law.

Yes. It's called justice –certainly in this case. But justice must be tempered by prudence. Not every sinful act should be criminalized.

On the other hand, libertarians can be characterized by the immortal slogan, "let 'em go to hell for all I care."

Pontius Pilate should be their model.

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

Today Pilate might say, "I'm innocent of this society's corruption. It's your responsibility!" This is the certainly the philosophy that Dopie and Butthead expressed on O'Reilly's show recently.

Actually, libertarians distinguish when an act can be criminalized: when there's a real victim. "Sinful" alone doesn't cut it.

They more than held their own against Bill O'Hillary and his Village idiocy. One wonders why he didn't invite Stern instead, who would have demolished him.
