But my libertarian friends tell me that pornography does not hurt anyone!!?

The big lie is that pornography does not harm. It harms the participants and it harms the user by shaping the way they view their fellow human beings -- as objects to use for satisfaction.

Clearly, the objectification of women (and men) has seriously harmed the moral fiber of our society.

Ted Bundy said it best when he was interviewed by Dr. James Dobson just before his execution when he told Dr. Dobson that pornography was the one factor the most greatly contributed to his downfall.

You could say that about anything. A person could just as easily make the case that being a member of a fundamentalist church is harmful.

BTW, I've been a member of fundamentalist church and I've seen the damage that they can cause to the emotionally fragile.

And everyone involved is a legal, consenting adult. Adults don't need a nanny state protecting them from themselves.

IMHO, Bundy was telling Dobson exactly what he believed Dobson wanted to hear. This was just another Bundy mind-#%$! with the express intent of generating publicity in the hopes that he could use it as leverage to delay or stop his execution.
