[Modernman]

Millions of people supported the Nazi's and burned jewish and Christian books with the worst of them...many justified this as being "right or good" and in keeping with the needs of the public order.

Sure. But those actions were clearly wrong since they violated the rights of the victims. The difference is, porn harms no rights.

But porn has been shown to harm the public at large, reducing its performers to little more than sex objects who are often abused and hooked on drugs. It has lead to families being broken up and to the sexual abuse of children. The national discourse has become coursened, it's fine musical traditions cheapened by so called artists who push moral toleration to the bleeding edge. The evidence of the corrosive effect of porn on our nation is all around us. Even the hypocritical Islamic extremists see these corrosive effects as oppurtunities to recruit the disaffected and to plot to bring our nation down.

Porn harms all rights by chipping away at the morality and religion that suports those rights(as Washington argued!)

Actually the main reason the Nazis did the book burning was to burn the records of their sexual exploits and perversions housed in the Human Rights organization headed by the main "femme" homosexual rights dude Hirschfield. That's well known.

And as far as porn violating no "rights" - it harms people. There are no "rights" that exist separate from the people who possess them.

Rights means "peoples' rights". Porn itself has no rights.

Porn should be difficult to obtain, not difficult to avoid.
