Hefner was a cog in a much larger machine. The juggernaut of the anti-family and anti-religion left had its hooks into society not only via the ACLU and other organizations, but of course the progressive politicians themselves. Modern communication and transportation were only tools by which to disseminate this nihilistic ideology, which was growing long before that, and existed in the past even without such technology (hence the Greek word “porneia” from which we get “pornography”, erroneously translated “fornication” in the King James Bible but really meaning “prostitution”, both female and male).
Good points.
