Baloney.

Such a strong rebuttal. Look around you. The busybodies are asking the feds and state governments to ban guns, limit fast food, outlaw SUVs, restrict smoking and pass laws to aid many other causes. In turn, too many conservatives are in favor of limited government until it comes to their pet peeve, and then it's time to unleash the legislators. Of course, it never stops with banning porn or indoor smoking. It just starts there.

Now you've made a good point or two -- and I agree there has been a rash of idiocy thrashing about out there lately that needs some stomping on...

However, America has always had obscenity laws, blue laws, and community standards until very recently -- and for good reason as far as I can see. Let's not compare time-tested tradition laws as I've just mentioned with those proposed by a minority of pin-headed neo-fascists who want micro-manage our lives by preventing you and I from eating a second Big Mac.
