But, why is it so hard to imagine the easy and cost effectiveness of simply saying that all hard core porn is now illegal.
Not really.
It wouldn't take much money at all to police it, only to incercerate, for some amount of time, people who willfully blow off the law.
What are you smoking? This would take even more money than drugs to police.
Corporate america would quickly get out of it and so would ma and pa. It would go underground and become much more scarce.
I wonder if they said the same thing about drugs.

I don't know where that "Not really" came from.

What are you smoking? This would take even more money than drugs to police. Not if it was done right and the same for drugs. Again let us look to the Bible and see where we have gone wrong.
"So you shall put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously." Deut. 17:12-13
Yet, any penalty executed through American courts is not much of a deterrent. Wise King Solomon 2,900 years ago explained why this is so:
Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccl. 8:11
When a murderer/drug dealer/pornster is executed/sentensed, three appeals and 12 years after his crime, society has largely forgotten about him. His death/prison sentence has almost no deterrent effect on crime. Further, a life sentence cannot be executed speedily. The swift harsh penalty deters crime.
Put a few porn people in jail, swiftly publically hang a drug pusher, line up a row of child molester and shoot them dead, that will be a deterrent. Anything less is a joke.

It would cost nothing at all to make a big improvement and I am not suggesting that all porn would go away. I'm not even suggesting people get rid of their stash. Just no more new porn and no more public porn. The only cost would be a few jail cells for the many that would snub the law.
