Do as you choose and I'll do the same. Perhaps you'd prefer if I said you could make a more disingenuous comment, okay? 

If you want to rely on bad government laws that's you business. When you or your property are damaged by someone then you have a case. Good luck trying to convince an impartial jury that a picture of a naked body harmed you.

Guns don't kill -- people do.

Pornography doesn't rape people -- people do.

I think you misunderstood my original post. My original comment was a serious one.

I was pissed that I would have to point out something so basic (1st Amendment applies to political speech - original intent of the Founders) to an active reader of this forum. That shouldn't have been necessary.

My comment about Flynt was a sneer at Flynt posturing himself as some kind of paragon of virtue for peddling smut.

AFA "bad government laws" the fewer the better. I'm all about freedom.

"Guns don't kill -- people do."

"Pornography doesn't rape people -- people do"

And for clarity:

Businesses don't restrict rights -- people (who own businesses) do.

It's important to remember that the problem may not reside at the local property but with an owner who lives a thousand miles away in Chicago where he supports Mayor Daley and all Daley stands for, and claims an ability to restrict the rights of others in communities around the nation because he owns a few square feet of real estate in each such community.

Governments don't restrict rights -- people do.

I just threw that in because so many conservatives are like anti-gunners who blame guns (the tools) instead of the people who operate the tools. Too many Conservatives blame Government (the tool) instead of the people who operate the tool. Conservatives need to stop blaming the tool, and take it for their own to use as they would any dangerous tool -- safely, as intended, without harm to themselves or others.
