Exactly.

I also think that it's rather interesting that the U.S. Supreme Court can define legally whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable (Nix v. Hedden, 149 U.S. 304; 1893), but still cannot even remotely define what is obscene.

The War on Porn will always be futile until we have a reasonable, concrete definition of what exactly constitutes obscenity.

Simply because what you and I and someone else here might consider to be obscene may very well be three separate things.

I think most people can tell the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. The idea that what is porn to one, isn't porn to another so popular the last few years sounds like an excuse to me to promote pornography. I am not accusing you of that before you get upset, you didn't coin that phrase of course! I know I know the difference anyway, and think most do. JMO.
