[little jeremiah]

Why do you ignore the wisdom of your betters? (I'm referring to the gentlemen I quoted above.)

Impressionable minds of young people - say up to 18 - need protection from rampant pornography. Porn should be hard to obtain, not hard to avoid.

[Long Cut]

Number one, while those gentlemen were unquestionably wise and learned, you'll forgive me for not considering them my "betters".

Number two, it is my right to disagree with them on those points.

Number three, you haven't answered my question.

As to people under 18, the law already has provisions regarding their exposure to pornography. After that, it is up to their parents, not the government, to regulate what they see.

It is hard to avoid Leftist propaganda, too. Should we thus ban or "control" it, because we do not like it or disagree with it?

You are under NO coercion to use pornography if you choose not to, and you are perfectly able to protect your children from it. What you want is to control OTHER people. Don't be surprised if those others disagree with letting you. They have reason to believe that you won't stop there.
