This is NOT in the least about Janet Reno,the First Ammendment(which is abolut protecting nonseditious news reporting and NOT porn!),the Clintons,the DNC,or anything else you mistakenly szeem to fear.

It is not only impractical for everyone who doesn't like porn/pervesty/PCism/foul language/etc. to pull their kids out of school,nolt watch T.V.,and go off and live like reculeses,far away from the madding throng.The government,Fed,state,and local,used to have plenty of laws, which kept most of the garbage away from America's populace in general and from children completely.There's NO good reason NOT to go back to that.

See my previous post. While there may be no good reason to not go back to it, it could take a long time to get there - and if it is as damaging as some say it is then why expose someone to it while you're waging the battle? If it takes 5 or 10 years to battle back up hill why not pull away from it for the good of the family until it gets back to where it should be?

My other thoughts are not that we need the laws, we need to change the hearts and minds of the people. Change that and there will be no market for such things, and you do that one soul at a time. These things exist because people want them, are we as christians (or pick a faith and insert) doing our job of winning people over? Is it that the core of this problem that satan has turned the tide and we hope that the best way to turn it back to is take control of the airwaves, et al?

We can battle in the courts and congress all day long, but we should also be working hard to set examples and point out the resultant evil brought about the things which we find wrong. Legal battles come and go, and change from decade to decade, getting the minds of the people to repent and not desire such things would accomplish more.

I understand both sides of this issue, and I wish things would change in some ways - but the apostles did a darn fine job living in a seriously corrupt time and place because they were not of the world.
